Each big round head is filled by rings of running stitch that spiral inward to one white square eye, and the cream outline has a soft, hand drawn wobble. They seem to be waiting patiently for the same bus, and you half expect them to start chatting. At 16.5 inches wide and 11 inches high it suits a wide frame or a bolster. Give it a spot in an entryway or a kid's room where cheerful faces greet you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolas are built by stacking several layers of colored cotton, then cutting down through one layer at a time so the colors underneath show through, and turning every raw edge under and stitching it closed by hand. The technique is called reverse appliqué, and a good panel is judged by how fine the stitches are and how many layers deep the cutting goes. This one came from Guna Yala, the San Blas islands off Panama's Caribbean coast, where the designs draw on the birds, fish, plants and geometric patterns of the islands and rainforest. It is ready to frame, mount, or sew into a pillow or a quilt panel, and no two are ever alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1991, TraderBrock celebrates the handcraft of Latin America's indigenous peoples.
