Product Description
Applique wall hanging, Mermaid Party: Home & Kitchen. But she was very demanding with me in class and I came to think that she didn't like my work because she never said anything to the others. 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. Palm trees and tall mountains are witnesses to a marine feast hosted by beautiful mermaids. A squid and an octopus dance amid turtles and fish, while dolphins jump for joy. A stingray cruises at the bottom of the sea through colorful corals and bright starfish. Maria Uyauri details this marine fantasy in lavish arpilleria, Peru's legendary applique. She sews and embroiders each piece by hand, creating a three-dimensional composition filled with artistic naivete. A display rod can slip through an opening on the wall hanging's upper back. Artisan Info: Hello. I'm Maria Uyauri Celis and I was born in Lima on March 31, 1955. When I got married, I found I needed to be able to do something outside the house. One day while talking with a friend and neighbor, I mentioned that I wanted to work. She belonged to a women's support group. And in this way, I began to learn little by little. I remember a German woman came to our group and helped us with design. Once she held a contest and let us choose any theme. I chose 'The Peruvian Jungle.' She liked it a lot and I won first prize. This worried me a lot and one day I asked her about it.
