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.

"A small work of art!"
I purchased these cards for my sisters and even though they arrived without the envelopes, I could not be more pleased. If I asked Novica to send me the envelopes, they would because they have the BEST customer service, but I had the perfect size ones that I can use. My sisters will absolutely love them! Thanks Novica! You are my go to for cards now!

"Detailed & beautiful handstitched Nativity scene"
This stocking is very unique and fun to look at--she put a lot of thought into the design. It is much larger and has so many more elements than I thought. I cannot imagine how much work went into it. I can actually see every detail extremely well. I am going to give it to my granddaughter who lived in Peru for a year and a half. She will love it. I like it so much that I have ordered one of the different designs. They will be heirlooms.
