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

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!
