The Kuna Indians of the San Blas Archipelago in Central America make colorful art called molas by stitching together layers of cloth and cutting designs through the layers to show the colors underneath, with the designs coming from everyday life, nature, dreams, and animals. Women of the Kuna tribe create molas both for their own clothing and to sell as a craft.
