"Gift for Girlfriends"

My girlfriends and I were planning a vacation to Cancun and I wanted to give them a little gift to commemorate the occasion. When I saw these adorable hearts, I knew I had found the right gift. Each one is a beautiful work of art with incredible color and detail. The girls loved them and I kept one for myself as well! Many thanks to the fabulous artist!

"These are my Happy Hearts"

I got these because they were useful all year round--on the Christmas Tree, for Valentines Day, for Easter, or whatever. In between times, I just hang them in various locations around the house and it makes me happy to see them sitting on the corner of the windowsill, hanging from a decorative cabinet handle, resting in a bin of colored straw like an Easter Egg, or whatever. They are colorful, beautiful, and a pleasure to have around the house. I thought I might put one on each gift for Christmas but I got greedy and kept them all for myself. :)

"Grogeous ornaments! Expertly painted details"

Thank you Claudio for these amazing ornaments. I kept two and gave the rest away as gifts to friends who helped with the Fiesta Familiar at a local church. I have purchased many of the Claudios ornaments to share with friends. Always a joy when my Novica box arrives!

"Beautiful Armadillo Alebrije"

This armadillo alebrije lit me up the moment I received it. It immediately became the catalyst for my growing interest in understanding the meaning of each alebrije in respect to culture and to the animal being represented, and inspired me to begin a small collection of these gorgeous works of art. The armadillo Alebrije made by Claudio Ojedo is in a playful repose, cheerful, and beautifully constructed. While I have not used the keychain, it would also be perfect for someone who wants to take this work of art “on the go.”

"Bright Owl"

This was a checkout deal that maybe would end up decorating a gift bag and maybe not. It was too good to decorate a bag so I kept it. I love the fine details painted on the back. It would also make a great tree ornament. Thank you Claudio for your beautiful work.

"Another addition to a critter collection"

This artist really captured the essence of the real thing. It looks like one of the chameleons photographed by the biology field researcher who will be delighted when she receives it on her birthday.
