"'Eden in the Andes' Wool Tapestry"
This is a very special tapestry. It is even better in person. I have loved this for five years, and finally splurged on it. The work is incredible. Sharp, clean colors and figures. It is like a hug from Peru. Have a feeling I am just a custodian for now, and this will be passed down for many decades, to many homes, and touch many lives.

"Garden of Butterflies"
I bought Garden of Butterflies - beautiful, high quality work. Every time I walk by it I stop and stare with astonishment. How did you ever make such an intricate piece? I am very happy to own this piece of art.

"Gorgeous"
I met Mr. Curi a number of years ago when I was in Peru and bought a number of his pieces then. When I saw his work was available on Novica, I was thrilled. This piece was every bit as beautiful as the ones I bought a decade ago. I would highly recommend any of his pieces. They are all stunning.
