Product Description
Applique wall hanging, World of Nature: Home & Kitchen. I chose 'The Peruvian Jungle.' She liked it a lot and I won first prize. 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. Nature shows a marvelous range of joyous colors in a world filled with flowers. In this design I really enjoyed thinking of the fresh breeze and the blossoms' perfume, Maria Uyauri confides. An expression of peace on earth, this wall hanging depicts a man who feeds a duck and girls picking flowers. Uyauri creates this beautiful wall hanging in intricate arpilleria - embroidered appliques of fabric cutouts hand-stitched to a background of cotton. Crafted in three dimensions, each figure is lavishly embroidered. A display rod can slip through an opening at the top. 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. 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.
