He selects a rich blue spectrum as he weaves the shawl of baby alpaca, the wool obtained from the season's first shear and noted for its fine soft fleece. Shawl: 75.0" L x 27.0" WDry clean onlyTextile softness: Soft -- this item has been made with fibers that are soft to the touchAbout our Artist: I was born in San Pedro de las Cajas, moved to Huancayo when I was 14 years, and entered the wonderful world of textiles just by watching my parents - I was fascinated! I learned from them gradually, and I set up my own workshop when I felt ready. I describe my art like I do my feelings - that is, I weave how I feel when I'm designing, and I use colors and different types of weaves to convey how I feel, the happiness in my heart. My motivation comes from my deep love towards this art, to what I do, and you can see it through the dedication and effort I put into every piece. The greatest challenge I've had to face is actually ongoing: I'm determined to always aim for the best, whether it is as a person, a worker or a team leader. To Novica clients all I can say is thank you, and God bless you....
