Details

An arched gateway opens in a thick stone wall that surrounds this Andean town. Women selling bread and clay jars sit on each side to catch shoppers going in and out. Within the walls, whitewashed homes with red tile roofs cluster beneath shade trees. This welcoming scene comes from Gabriel Ayala, who carves cedar wood in low relief.

"For me, art is a way of life, and I consider 'art' to be anything done with love and patience. I bring my works to life with dedication and devotion."

"Hola! I'm Gabriel Antonio Ayala Tarazona and I was born in Chacas, Ancash Huaraz on June 17, 1972. When I was a boy, I... "Hola! I'm Gabriel Antonio Ayala Tarazona and I was born in Chacas, Ancash Huaraz on June 17, 1972. When I was a boy, I lived with my parents, surrounded by nature and breathing the pure country air. Although my parents weren't artisans, they had a great appreciation for this kind of art. My father was a farmer and my mother looked after the home. I studied in a technical school where I learned the principles of art. I perfected my skills in the Instituto Superior Tecnológico de Tallado Don Bosco, where my artistic formation was begun.

"When I was very young, I especially liked the world of art. I admired and respected it very much. Ever since, I dreamed of becoming an artist. I wanted it so much that I enrolled in the Don Bosco school where I learned everything I always wanted to know.

"Our economic situation was limited. It was especially difficult in the Peruvian sierra. I remember crafting little figurines of clay with the hope of one day creating true works of art. I also carved blocks of wood and this filled me with happiness.

"But I also worked as a young boy in order to help my family and to get ahead in the very difficult situation that we were going through. Today I am extremely happy with what I do and the works I make with my hands.

"I'd describe my art as meaning everything to me. I like to admire the fine workmanship and perfect finishing that keep me striving harder each day. At first, I was motivated by financial necessity but today I am fueled by the desire to make this wonderful art known. I try to transmit a love of my work and the ability of the people in the Peruvian Andes.

"For me, art is a way of life, and I consider 'art' to be anything done with love and patience. I bring my works to life with dedication and devotion.

"My greatest challenges in life have been to face and withstand sacrifices more than anything, as in our reality, art has suffered much bad treatment and lack of consideration.

"To all my Novica friends, I first want to thank you for your purchases, as this helps so many people like me. In this way, you give us opportunities through our art so that we can progress in life and express ourselves with hands full of love. Your patronage is also an incentive for the young people in the sierra, as it shows them that it is worth the effort to keep struggling and take our marvelous art to the world."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
