Details

Autumn is the time of harvest in the Andean highlands. Apple trees are laden with fruit while cabbages, potatoes, pumpkins and more keep villagers busy in this beautiful tapestry. Llamas, sheep, goats and pigs abound in this exuberant glimpse of Peru. In one corner, a woman weaves on a backstrap loom.

María Uyauri creates the scene in intricate arpillería – embroidered appliqués of fabric cutouts hand-stitched to a background of cotton. Crafted in three dimensions, each figure is lavishly embroidered. A display rod can slip through an opening at the top of the wall hanging.

“A lovely piece of art”

This detailed wall hanging is so much nicer than I thought it would be. It is very nicely done with a lot of attention to detail.b I will enjoy it for many years. Thank you for all the work and love that you put into it.

“brings me joy”

I love colors and flowers so I purchased this garland on a sale. It has exceeded my expectations. Almost entirely hand sown with flowers intricately done. No two are the same and each has a unique center. A wide variety of colors. I hang garlands vertically or drape along my piano top or mantel but for weeks I coiled this one in a circle in the center of my dining room table. No fresh flowers needed, but when I bought some I coiled the garland at the base. Very, very cheery.

“I fell in love with the dog on this clutch!”

The detailed and lovely work Maria did on this clutch made me fall in love with the dog she portrays, and wish I could bring it home. Her skill and imagination in doing the applique are very apparent, and I see from looking at her wall hangings that she is a very talented and extra special artist. I will be purchasing more of her special work. Thank you Maria for creating one of my very favorite things.

“A Story in Fiber”

As an amateur weaver, I appreciated how this piece told the story of wool fibers, from pasture to yarn to product. Thank you!
