Happy Alpaca

Peruvian artisan Maria Ramos Sanchez handcrafts this pencil case with an arpillera style front, in which cotton blend felt is appliquéd and embroidered to create an elaborate scene. The artisan creates an Andean scene with a pair of alpaca grazing amongst the valley flowers at the foot of the mountains. The back and lining of the pencil case are black and the single compartment is secured with a zipper.
