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!

Beautiful, well made and it Makes Me HAPPY!
Every time I carry this purse I have women -- and one man who was looking for a birthday gift for his wife -- who LOVED this purse and asked where I got it. I gave them your website! And when I told them it's alpaca, they were delighted and one squeeled, "Oh, I LOVE alpaca!" WOW! I think it's great, and one thing I really like about it is that it holds my wallet, phone, a few other items--and then the purse says, "Clean me out!" The size is what I was looking for and then I found this BEAUTIFUL option. Abit pricier than I wanted, but worth EVERY PENNY! THANKS!
