Inspired by the embroideries made by the Otomí women of San Pablito, Mexico, this charming set of creatures, designed by the talented Emma Carlow, can be your inspiration to create a colorful world!

Set comes flat packed with pre-cut, unpainted wood pieces. Enjoy it as is or paint your very own (painted set shown here is for inspiration only). Includes instructions and 9 animals, up to 4.75 inches tall. You will also need paint, markers, or crayons of your choosing. Bonus: Animals each have a small hole at the top to use them as hanging ornaments.

Why we love this: So inspiring! Using cotton fabric ranging in size from napkins to large tablecloths, the women of San Pablito embroider scenes of everyday life. The scenes are outlined on cloth and using brightly colored cotton thread, the images are filled in with long satin stitches. Although the finished cloth designs may appear simple, there is enormous skill involved in positioning the random figures in space and creating an overall sense of balance and harmony.
