Product Description
Applique wall hanging, Harvesting Gourds: Home & Kitchen. I learned the art of arpilleria from the organizations created by working mothers. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Andean scenes illuminate this charming applique wall hanging. Working in the traditional art of arpilleria (patchwork), Marcela Paredes portrays the harvest of zapallo gourds. Her careful use of color and meticulous stitching result in a delightful design with three-dimensional figures. Artisan Info: My name is Marcela Paredes Huacles and I was born on May 28, 1945, in Huancavelica, in the Peruvian hillsides. My motivation was a will to succeed and I have been dedicated to this art for 20 years now.
