2.8 " W x 3.5 " H x 1.2 " D Weight: 20 grams -100% wool Ships from NOVICA Office in Peru NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Farm animals make for fascinating characters in tales of fantasy and myth. Virginia Apaza Ticona transforms them into admirable finger puppets to entertain young children. Knit by hand of wool, the set includes a sheep, a rabbit, a dog, a horse and bright pink piggy. Handmade by Virginia Apaza Ticona Born in the Puno region on November 15, 1972, Virginia Apaza Ticona is the second of six children. Her father raises alpacas and sells their wool. Her mother knits and crochets a variety of clothing articles, and Apaza learned at the age of 15. Aided by her aunts, the artisan sold her designs; in this way she was able to fund her university studies, where she specialized in social work. Today, Apaza works as a consultant for merchandising handicrafts. Over the years, she kept up her knitting hobby and in 2002 Apaza decided to dedicate all her time to textiles. Setting up a workshop in her home, she works with women`s groups. She is fluent in the Aymara language. Being able to communicate with women and communities where this is the only language spoken permits her to aid them in selling their work. Apaza works mainly in sheep wool, alpaca wool and alpaca blends, crocheting and knitting by hand and also on knitting machines. She sells her designs in tourist areas, and with Novica she can offer them to the world. "Working with alpaca wool is a family tradition that we lovingly share with you," she says. "I hope you like it."
