I love the colour and design of this vibrant tapestry by Jhon Laura and his fellow weavers.It is everything I hoped it would be - the combination of digital art transferred to the traditional weaving techniques works beautifully.I love it, thank-you so much for all the skill you have put into making it.

This is a large Christmas stocking made by the artisans at Santa Magdalena using the traditional arpillera or patchwork art of sewing three dimensional designs. I also have two of their wall hangings and can say they are excellent artisans in this art and I love their work. This stocking has a star shooting through the sky, and a stable picturing the nativity. This nativity is very simple, with adorable figures representing the mother, father and the baby Jesus, surrounded by many, many Andean animals and trees, cacti, flowers and mountains. Each time you look at the stocking you will see something else they have sewn. I really love this stocking very much. I thank these ladies and wish them a very Happy Christmas!
