Two adorable ladybugs are here to liven up your holidays. Martha Fonseca hand crochets the pair from a cotton blend yarn in deep red and adds a hanging cord on each one.

Martha learned to knit from her mother. As an adult, she fell in love with amigurumi, the Japanese art of crocheting and hand-sewing small animals and creatures. Her work mixes the amigurumi technique with popular Mexican iconology such as cacti, piñatas, and sombreros.

Costa Rican artisan Blanca Padilla designs and handcrafts this lovely trio of angels from fiber extracted from cabuya or fique, a succulent that looks similar to agave. The cabuya fiber is a beautiful creamy antique white, and the artisan works with its natural texture to from the features of this wall sculpture. Gold thread is woven with the cabuya to accent each angel's halo and the hem of her gown, and she carries a lovely bouquet of paper and natural dried flowers in red, yellow, and green. A star shoots over the trio.

The art and skill of creating handicrafts from cabuya or fique has been handed down through Blanca Padilla's family for generations. The artisan sources her material herself, growing and harvesting the cabuya, extracting the fiber, and preparing it for use in the handicrafts. Blanca Padilla hopes to help revitalize the cabuya craft industry with the success of her designs.
