Product Description
Applique wall hanging, Flamingos and Flowers: Home & Kitchen. Every colorful thread I use transmits the reality of my community and of my people. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Girls tend to their sunflower garden as bright macaws look on from their treetop perch. Another girl feeds white ducks that glide across a cool blue pond. In the estuary, flamingos wade in the shallows as they fish for their breakfast. All is peace and color in this delightful wall hanging. Eleodora Salvatierra works in the traditional art of arpilleria (patchwork). Each tiny figure is crafted in three dimensions and lavishly embroidered. A display rod can be slipped through an opening at the top. Artisan Info: My name is Eleodora Salvatierra Mitma and I was born in Cangallo-Cochapata province on 6 May, 1965. I have always felt like an artisan. Art is within us all, we just need to express it. We Peruvians have inherited this gift from our ancestors. My work reflects my ideas and my feelings. It shows people our path through time, as well as the art and culture of the Peruvian people. I have been making arpilleria since I was in school. What motivates my work is the love I feel for my country, and a desire to show the rest of the world the beauty of our landscapes and our customs. I have exhibited my work in several places and with great pride.
