Branching Life Wall HangingPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 6115430

SKU# 6115430

Handcrafted artistry expresses the joy of life – a strong leafing tree with serene horizontal bands of earth, blue hills and sky. Peruvian artisans used coiled wool to create this painterly image with depth and feeling.

To make coiled wool tapestries, Peruvian weavers use wool from sheep of the Andes. They wash it in a local river, card and dye it. It is a lengthy, labor intensive operation. Blending different colors to create specific hues, they roll the wool fibers into long strands, ready to create a tapestry on a wooden loom. Cotton threads form the warp; wool coils form the weft.
