SO CUTE and well made.
I have never ordered these items or anything from NOVICA before so I crossed my fingers and ordered 4 for holiday gifts. They arrived quickly and are darling! A friend who was with me when I opened the package immediately wanted one of the sets. Very nice especially for the price. Also got a lovely thank you card with them from the artist. I have already placed another order for several more. Thank you NOVICA and Ashish!!
The cats are creepy, but I love it regardless!
Eliazar Ochoa is one of half a dozen Peruvian artisans whose page I try to check every month or so for new work; I had a rug and another tapestry by him already. I love depictions of animals. especially when they are animals you don't commonly see depicted as with llamas and rheas, two distinctly South American animals (my other tapestry from him is all condors). And while purple is my favorite color, I do like orange as well, and I saw there was a bit of purple in this. This tapestry currently occupies pride of place, on the door to my office. Which means that at close range, I've realized the faces of the cats are kind of creepy. But I'm not really sure how you could do better on a loom, and I have also seen much worse cat faces! As I look at them more, I think I definitely prefer : | to a badly done : 3 (the most popular simplified cat face), and it makes a lot more sense on a loom as well!
Perfect for my Grandson!
My 8 year old grandson went hunting this year for the first time. He was so disappointed that he missed his first time. I ordered this for him for his glasses on his bedside table. While waiting on this to arrive as a Christmas gift, my grandson shot a button buck (I guess that's what it is called). He was almost as excited to get this as he was when he finally shot his deer.
