Marisol Medina used her creativity and love for animals to craft handmade wildlife creatures. She began her work with wire and cotton in Tabio, a small village 60kms from Bogotá in Colombia. Starting with readily available raw materials, and struggling through various challenges typical of a small business/enterprise, Marisol soon enhanced her techniques and the business as the demand for the product grew in the market. She began with participating at the annual national fair which takes place in Bogotá once every year. This is where Marisol was introduced to her first set of wholesale and retail clients.

Lions, known as King of the Beasts, sleep for as long as 20 hours in a day, the laziest in the cat family! Bend and shape these tamed and flexible cotton and wire lions into various positions and use the picture frame to showcase your favorite memories.

Marisol Medina and local women from the small village of Tabio, Colombia nimbly wrap cotton yarn around wire frames to create these adorable picture frames. Through training and employment, Marisol's center has created a steady source of income and empowerment for tens of artisans in Colombia.
