Molas

    Molas are the traditional folk art of the Kuna people of San Blas, Panama. They live in the tropical islands and along the
rain forested coast of the Caribbean. Kuna women have made their brightly colored and strikingly unique blouse panels
for more than 100 years. The women use techniques such as reverse appliqué, stacking colored fabric, then cutting
slashes in the top layer to outline the pattern and pulling the lower colors to the top; they add even more colors on top using
traditional appliqué.
