Applique wall hanging, 'Mermaid Songs'

The songs of mermaids lure with enchanting melodies, making every sea creature and gull approach in festive harmony. Seahorses, turtles and lobsters dance at the bottom of the sea, while colorful fish and pink octopuses swim across the sea's blue depths. Maria Uyauri details this lavish fantasy in colorful arpiller�a, Peru's legendary appliqu�. She sews and embroiders each piece by hand, creating a three-dimensional composition filled with artistic naivet�. A display rod can slip through an opening on the wall hanging's upper back.
