An incredible work of art!

This handcrafted cuff bracelet just arrived today. I can truly say the photo of this item does not do it justice. When I first opened the package my first thought was "WOW!" Such detail! The design is so spectacular! I couldn't wait to slip it on... Roy Nilson craftsmanship is a pleasure to behold. I especially loved the composition of the dancing couple. Viewing them puts a smile on my face! They are so precious! But most of all I love the passion Mr Roy put in his creation. I can see the love for his culture through his art. My family is from Mexico, as well. So I can relate to his passion.... This is one of three items I purchased from him, and I plan to purchase more in the future. Needless to say, I've become a huge fan. Mr Roy, thank you for the honor to ware your gorgeous artwork!

A family treasure

This large Talavera Jack-O-Lantern is beautiful, and my favorite for Fall decor. With a lighted candle -or small plug-in electric one- it adds fun and soft brightness to our Fall evenings. I got a second one as a gift for my daughter who loves it as much as I do
