When looking through the photos I took, I found this one.
 
leelai, here is a full size photo of it! It isVERY traditional, not what they are making for tourists! I will try to include some of the tourists ones in another photo so you can see the difference. image-1384470422.webp image-3157839320.webp image-148200011.webp I want to frame it with the glass that will protect it from the UV Rays etc. The first photo is my avatar for the moment, until I can find one for spring to replace it! :);) :);)
These molas are probably best described as reverse appliqués. That is, they have several layers of cloth and holes are cut through the upper layers to expose the lower ones. Each seam around these cutouts is precisely hand sewn to show no edges. Then, they often attach additional colors to the top of the layers to provide more layers and more color

Oh my......they're just beautiful and what a lot of work that goes into these!

They must take quite a time to make......I can understand why you would want to protect it....best to keep away from any sunlight at all I would say!

Just love the colours! Thank you for this!

I do remember you telling us about your great kids buying you that pass but to have a photo opportunity with him is something else again!

I just know how thrilled you must be! Woohoo!!

Molas are handmade using a reverse appliqué technique. Several layers (usually two to seven) of different-coloured cloth (usually cotton) are sewn together; the design is then formed by cutting away parts of each layer. The edges of the layers are then turned under and sewn down. Often, the stitches are nearly invisible. This is achieved by using a thread the same color as the layer being sewn, sewing blind stitches, and sewing tiny stitches. The finest molas have extremely fine stitching, made using tiny needles.
The largest pattern is typically cut from the top layer, and progressively smaller patterns from each subsequent layer, thus revealing the colours beneath in successive layers. This basic scheme can be varied by cutting through multiple layers at once, hence varying the sequence of colours; some molas also incorporate patches of contrasting colours, included in the design at certain points to introduce additional variations of colour

I hope I didn't post these already! I'm having a real déjà vu feeling. If I already posted them I'm sure one of our wonderful mod.s, super mod.s or admin.s will delete these for me.
