How to use your molas

| 23 February, 2011 16:34

Hi Everyone:  Hope all of you are doing good.  I love to see

that many people out there are keeping up with my blog. 

 

That's great and actually give me more inspiration to keep

posting new topics :-)  I will try to include some topics in

spanish as well...

 

Frequently, I received questions about what are the main

things I do with my molas???

today I decided to speak up a little bit and share with you a

few things...

 

I also want to mention that we have the book Molas and

Kuna Traditions, you can buy this book through my website:

How to display your Molas???

 

It is entirely up to you, what you want to do with your mola.

I personally love framing my molas, making something for

my home that I can use, quilts, pillows, placemats, tablecloth, aprons, purse, pot holders, mola panels can be worn by sewing them into a jacket, skirt, blouse, etc...

The mola looks better in person and the gold frame add more beauty to this particular mola.

 You can also frame your small molitas (framed in Panama)

front and back of my pillows, I decide to use a black fabric on the

back, it actually give great contrast specially because I use a mola

with black background.

 

I didn't have to necessarily use black, it will also look great with the

orange fabric  (front and back).
