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!

Most beautiful bag!
Wow wow wow!! I obsessed over this leather purse for a few months & my boyfriend ended up buying it for my bday. It’s absolutely gorgeous!! It’s a thick leather that will hopefully soften with time, but i appreciate the thickness because I know it will last forever. The color is perfect and the added colorful embroidery takes it to another level. Perfectly priced and worth every penny. I get compliments all the time, I am so happy w this purchase ??
