Wool tapestry, 'Flower Fiesta'

Harvest time brings a feast of color and fragrances as women return with myriad flowers to sell. Shielded by their white hats and woolen shawls, the women approach neighboring villages with basketsful to sell. This inspiring scene is masterfully executed on a handloom according to the techniques of San Pedro de Cajas. Nilda Amaro Oscanoa coordinates a careful blend of natural and artificial dyes to achieve the intensity and clarity of colors that energizes this tapestry. Titled "Fiesta de flores" in Spanish.
