fair trade wall art

All is color and happiness on an Andean farm. Children play amid carrot beds and cornfields beneath a sunny sky. Women of the Santa Magdalena Association create this delightful wall hanging. They work in the traditional art of arpillera (patchwork), crafting each tiny embroidered figure in three dimensions. The tapestry serves to measure a child's growth.

A display rod can be slipped through loops at the top.

The glory of ancient Armenia lives in this wall accent, crafted by Lilia Tonakanyants. Inspired by the region's bird alphabet, the artisan uses brass wires and paper pieces—in red, green, and blue hues—to portray a feathered letter M. Green and beige hues unite in the acrylic frame, allowing distinguished display.
