"A lovely portrait of a woman caring for her llamas."
This is one of many items I have purchased from Ms. Sanchez, including a coin purse, a wall hanging, and a pencil case . She is an extremely talented and imaginative artisan. This bag has such a lovely portrait of an Andean woman taking care of her llamas. Her portrayal of the beauty of her country delights me and makes me wish I could visit Peru. If you study her applique work you will find many interesting and beautiful things. I truly love everything she has made and sent to me, and I thank her.
Best Uses
- Wear this and you will be asked "where did you get that?" a lot
