This is a large Christmas stocking made by the artisans at Santa Magdalena using the traditional arpillera or patchwork art of sewing three dimensional designs. I also have two of their wall hangings and can say they are excellent artisans in this art and I love their work. This stocking has a star shooting through the sky, and a stable picturing the nativity. This nativity is very simple, with adorable figures representing the mother, father and the baby Jesus, surrounded by many, many Andean animals and trees, cacti, flowers and mountains. Each time you look at the stocking you will see something else they have sewn. I really love this stocking very much. I thank these ladies and wish them a very Happy Christmas!

The picture on the website does not do justice to this gorgeously crafted wall handing. The texture is wonderful with the people, donkey blankets, and flower petals popping off the background. The colors are brilliant. This stunning piece of work exceeded my expectations by a country mile.
I take pride in passing on this heritage and tradition and strive to preserve its originality and beauty in every piece I create.
