Huichol Yarn Painting – A Commissioned Work of Art
 
This extraordinary Huichol yarn painting, commissioned over 26 years ago, is a true fusion of cultural artistry and personal design vision. Created by skilled Huichol artisans in the Sierra Madre, this piece embodies the spirit, symbols, and sacred colors of their ancestral traditions — every strand of yarn meticulously hand-placed to tell stories of nature, the cosmos, and human connection.
 
Originally designed by a California-based designer who sought to harmonize her home’s spaces, the painting was commissioned using color samples drawn from her furnishings and textiles. The result is a breathtaking textural mandala of life, uniting sun, earth, and spirit in one radiant composition.
With time, this piece became part of a cherished philosophy — gifting beauty forward.
 
In that same spirit, it is now being offered to benefit The Sula Society, ensuring its story continues in another home, bringing light, color, and legacy wherever it lives next.

    💌 Proxy Winners (for Live & Online or Silent & Online Categories)

    If the item you bid on is listed in a Live & Online or Silent & Online category, here’s how proxy bidding works:

    • The online auction closes November 20 at 12:00 PM CST.

    • At that time, the highest online bid becomes the starting bid for the Bow Wow Gala on November 22, 2025.

    • Once the online auction closes, we’ll contact you to confirm whether you’d like to appoint a volunteer to act as your proxy bidder at the Gala.

    • Your proxy will bid on your behalf — up to your chosen limit — so you can stay in the game even if you can’t attend in person!

    If your proxy wins the item:

    • You’ll receive an invoice for the total amount due after the Gala.

    • Once payment is received, we’ll help arrange shipping, delivery, or local pick-up, depending on your location.

    • Please note that proxy winners located outside of Puerto Vallarta may need to cover an additional shipping fee for physical items.
