This is one of many items I have purchased from Ms. Sanchez, including a coin purse, a wall hanging, and a pencil case . She is an extremely talented and imaginative artisan. This bag has such a lovely portrait of an Andean woman taking care of her llamas. Her portrayal of the beauty of her country delights me and makes me wish I could visit Peru. If you study her applique work you will find many interesting and beautiful things. I truly love everything she has made and sent to me, and I thank her.
I found myself drawn to the meticulous detail in the zippered bags and coin purses by this artist. I chose to purchase several for gifts for some special people, including this one with a young Peruvian tending her animals. I also appreciate that this coin purse came with free gift wrap that includes a tiny worry doll adorning the ribbon bow. I now have a practical attractive gift that I know will be appreciated.
