Everyday, the artisan world market is growing with more independent artists and creative designers jumping onto the bandwagon. I was going to read up some diet pill reviews when I was distracted by some artistic finds in novica again.
Any seen an alpaca or pet one before? While I was studying in Perth ten years ago, I visited an alpaca farm. At first sight, I found the animals a little ‘weird’ looking but after spending a few moments beholding their mannerisms, I found that to be one of the mildest animals. Gentle and meek, a little like sheep and a camel.
So when I saw this alpaca wool wrap at Novica, I find a little warm. Peru’s Alfredo Falcon fashions this beautiful, full length wrap from a luxurious alpaca blend. Unparalleled in softness and warmth, this elegant wrap is a must for winter wardrobe. He combines weaving by hand and on classic machinery, remaining true to Inca and colonial motifs. I would like for the world to receive through my work high quality products, with modern colors and traditional motifs.
If you haven’t discovered the artistic and unique handmade finds at Novica, you should. This is a great online store for me when I need an original tapestry or a pair of artisan earrings for an occasion. Besides the creative range of ceramics and pottery which make great family gift ideas, there is a huge collection of shawls, scarves and wraps for those who are seeking an artisan touch.
This silk batik scarf stole my heart this morning when I was searching for a birthday gift for my close sister friend who had been on Lipovox for a while. She is that sort of gal who gets very conscious about her flabby tummy and extra weight after the birthday of her second newborn. For Handmade and Unique Clothing and Accessories from Around the World, Novica has lots to offer. This Silk batik scarf, ‘Feminine’ shows soft pastel colors make this a very feminine fashion accessory from Melati’s Collection. Working in batik, Artisan Melati creates delightful floral motifs and graceful ferns on a fringed silk scarf.
