New Rumi Sumaq by Coco Paniora Salinas Artisan Bracelet Lime Green Hematite HTF OOAK Nature and Peruvian Inspired Art Jewelry created in the Unisex, hand-knotted, lime green string bracelet Created with Waxed Fiber, Hematite Stones and a Logo bead Waterproof and washable for everyday Size adjustable with sliding knot closure Artist: Born in the highlands of Peru in Apurimac in the Andes Mountains where Quechua is still the predominant language, I was drawn to the work of shamans who have used stones, shells, and fossils in ceremonial offerings to Pachamama, the Quechua goddess of Mother Earth. I knew that I wanted to pay tribute to all manifestations of PachaMama and creating art jewelry was the best way for me to do this. I watched my mother and grandparents weave beautiful textiles and was drawn to the gorgeous fibers of Peru. My mother taught me to weave while emphasizing intense focus and attention to detail. I moved on to knotting when other artists introduced me to macramé. I practiced knotting while traveling throughout Peru and South America. The gorgeous landscapes I came deepened my inspiration and love for our natural world. From the Andes mountains to the dense jungle rainforest to the desert coastlines, I was greatly moved by all manifestations of Pachamama. Nature inspired me to reach new heights in art & jewelry. I adapted my techniques to work with metal. I believe my work is a testament to how art transforms itself much like earth and us.
