chiropractor gifts

The artistry evoked by Day of the Dead thrives all year long, inspiring Roy Nilson to design this brooch featuring endearing skeletons. He is dressed in traditional bullfighter attire, she in a flirty flamenco skirt. They dance and charm in a sterling silver brooch with oxidized contrasts that doubles as a pendant.

A bony skeleton is covered with cheerful flowers. Carved and painted by hand, this wall sculpture by Jose Canil Ramos celebrates the Day of the Dead in Guatemala. "The sculpture's bright colors are a reminder that death is nothing more than the beginning of something new," he says."

This charming recycled metal figurine captures a chiropractor at work on a patient laying flat on a table. Mexican artisan Armando Ramirez designs and welds the figurine from hand-selected scrap metal from a variety of Mexican automotive, industrial and construction waste sites. "The process involves selecting recycled items that can be used," says Ramirez. "I separate and soak them in a cleaning solution to remove any impurities, and solder them together until I achieve my design. Then I give it a protective coat of glossy varnish." Each piece of the sculpture is recycled and unique, with some parts oxidized to providing a rustic charm.
