I enjoy molas, they are very lively with a lot of detail! They are often brought back as tourist souvenirs from Panama. Formerly they were made as panels in clothing for the Cuna people of the San Blas Islands, now they are an important source of income.
I am not sure what this creature is! He was sold as a mythical animal, it is gathering something to put in his basket...great colours....
Again, not sure what this means..it may be a logo or a brand of an item? This mola was bought very inexpensively, I was interested to see that it was professionally framed in Brixton....it has anti-glare glass. It has now been hung on my wall....
Are thy stitched by hand or machine
ReplyDeleteThese are stitched by hand....tiny, tiny stitches...quite amazing! Especially if you have ever done applique yourself, youll appreciate the skill involved....
