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!

Love it!
This is my first time buying on this site. When you change money to Canadian, add tax, and postage, it is expensive and I was a bit apprehensive because pictures don't show everything. I waited a while because they were out of stock but this was no problem. When it came, it was nicely packaged. The design I chose was bright and cheery and what I liked best was the workmanship and the weight of the wool. it wasn't skimpy. Also, there's a nice pocket in which to place my rod when I get it. I thought I'd have to manage that myself. So, all in all, I am a happy customer and it's worth the $ to me!.
