A beautifully colorful scene - from the depths of the ocean and David Laura Zanabria

Product picture

This tapestry is absolutely exquisite! The colors are bright and eye-catching - almost like those neon fish that dwell in the deepest parts of the ocean -- and the quality is top-notch -- the yarn is woven closely together, so it looks like a smooth and uninterrupted scene -- and the wool itself is thick, supple and substantial. I love this fishy fantasy, straight from the creative mind of David Laura Zanabria. It will add so much warmth and personality to our living area! Thank you too, for the lovely gift wrapping, complete with a lovely handmade worry doll, and for the wonderful postcard and thank you note. Thank YOU!

Big colorful and what a work of art

Product picture

This piece is so big and is an amazing piece of artwork. I unpacked this well wrapped piece and just stared at all the work that has gone into making this piece. Every one of the dolls are handmade and have such character.

The cats are creepy, but I love it regardless!

Eliazar Ochoa is one of half a dozen Peruvian artisans whose page I try to check every month or so for new work; I had a rug and another tapestry by him already. I love depictions of animals. especially when they are animals you don't commonly see depicted as with llamas and rheas, two distinctly South American animals (my other tapestry from him is all condors). And while purple is my favorite color, I do like orange as well, and I saw there was a bit of purple in this. This tapestry currently occupies pride of place, on the door to my office. Which means that at close range, I've realized the faces of the cats are kind of creepy. But I'm not really sure how you could do better on a loom, and I have also seen much worse cat faces! As I look at them more, I think I definitely prefer : | to a badly done : 3 (the most popular simplified cat face), and it makes a lot more sense on a loom as well!
