Great Craftsmanship

Product picture

Love this colorful, vibrant tapestry, which gives warmth to a stark white door and gray-painted apartment. Adds much cheer to my space, and has held up well over the years!

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!

This is a very special work of art to be cherished

The handwoven throw is exactly as you see it here. The colors are stunning and it is a special addition to my home. I was looking for a throw to go with a new chair, and the throw is just beautiful on the chair. The alpaca is beautiful fabric. I just cannot say enough about the artist, the throw, and how much I appreciate the artistic talent.
