Ana makes yet another gorgeous sweater

Product picture

Gosh, how I love these sweaters! When the cherry one arrives any day now, I will own 3. This beige and turquoise one is gorgeous. The colors are subdued, but somehow the whole sweater manages to look sexy, to hide any bodily "flaws," and to look slimming. The patterns line up perfectly, the size is perfect, and the sweater looks great open or buttoned. I highly recommend this sweater and the artist, Ana Fernandez.

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!
