Maria Heart Ornament

DESCRIPTION: A traditional Haitian beading technique is used to produce this one-of-a-kind ornament. The Maria Heart Ornament is weaved by hand in a process that takes hours to complete.  

About the Artisans: The majority of the Vi Bella sewing team learned to sew while waiting to receive prosthetics on the Mission of Hope Haiti campus after the earthquake of 2010 left them amputees. Other members of our sewing team are part of a near-by deaf community.
