Product Description
Applique wall hanging, Mermaid Songs: 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. The songs of mermaids lure with enchanting melodies, making every sea creature and gull approach in festive harmony. Seahorses, turtles and lobsters dance at the bottom of the sea, while colorful fish and pink octopuses swim across the sea's blue depths. Maria Uyauri details this lavish fantasy in colorful 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.
