Artisan Leonor Quispe of Peru hand makes these decorative mitts in the arpillera style. The backdrop is a section of an Andean blanket on which she appliqués a Peruvian landscape of llamas strolling through a field of cactus by a small pond with ducks. The sun peeks out from the mountains in the background. The back of the mitts is solid white. A loop of yarn topped with a pom pom is attached to the top corner of each mitt for easy hanging. These decorative mitts would make a colorful addition to any kitchen.
Please note: These mitts are for decorative purposes only; they are not heat-proof and are not appropriate for use as hot mitts.

"Beautiful cushion"
It is a beautiful cushion cover! One drawback is that, some of the flowers are glued instead of sewed to the cover, and will drop after a few days use. I need to sew them back.

"Delightful Gift for a baby?s room"
When my colleague & friend was expecting her baby, I knew I wanted to get something special that they could enjoy together. Today her daughter is 3 years old and they still tell me how much they enjoy looking at the wall hanging and making up stories about the animals.
