Mauricio Morales crafts a small ceramic bird figurine that features exquisite hand painted detailing. "The process for making these small animals was something I learned when I was small...since then it has become a passion of mine," says the Guatemalan artisan, adding that the bird sculpture is made for, "...all of those who love birds." He starts by mixing the clay and carefully shaping the figure, and then he adds aluminum legs and feet. After the bird is fired, he sands it, mixes his own colors, and paints the figurine. The result is a charming, meticulously painted blue jay complete with crested head, bright blue plumage, and white breast.

"Love my new little Blue Jay"
I have this one perched on an antique crock (on top of my Bakers Cabinet)... looking up at a blue jay painting that my son bought for me. I love how the two works of art look together. I have purchased many of Mauricios birds for myself and to give as gifts. All are incredible works of art.

"A wonderful gift for a dear friend"
This caught my eye: I have a wonderful friend and former teacher who collects unique bird figurines. I bought it for her, crossing my fingers because she has very high standards. I waited for her to open it. I held my breath. She looked at it, she touched it: she was absolutely delighted. It is far nicer than the very pretty picture can convey. I am thrilled.

"Beautiful Oriole"
I gave this as a gift and the recipient put it in a outside planter and it still looks good after a few years. He loves Orioles and happens to be a Baltimore Orioles fan.

"I needed this sweet Pink Robbin"
Thank your Mauricio! Your work never ceases to amaze me. I dont think I will ever truly have enough of your birds. This little robin flew all the way from Australia via your hands in Guatemala. I love learning all about new-to-me-creatures in the world, so I read all about my new little beauty.
