“I love African Art, especially wooden masks”

This particular mask is smaller than I expected. However, the petite mask is exquisite. The detailed carvings and colors are beautiful. I will no doubt consider buying additional pieces from this artist. I am thrilled I bought this piece. Im also thrilled a female carved this mask. That one feature makes this piece special!

“This is such a delightful cat :)”

I bought Asevi as a gift for a friends birthday and wanted to take a look at him myself first, and wow, this figurine is an absolute delight to behold. Gorgeous and bigger than I expected and so pleasing to the touch! I almost wanted to keep the figurine for myself but decided I would just get another one sometime later. I love everything about it, the shape and gesture of the body, the detailing, the color - every element comes together with striking personality. This cat may have left my hands but I think about him often.

“Wonderfully unique; beautifully made”

This kitten box is amazing! It is beautifully weighted and sturdy, and exquisitely carved, and feels wonderfully smooth in my hands. I love the cats peaceful expression, with his watchful eyes, perfectly pointed cat ears, and sweeping white whiskers. The greenish and red base of the box is the perfect complement to the black top, and really makes the piece stand out. I love the quality of the box as well. The top fits the base perfectly -- sliding smoothly into place over the carved inner rim. And there is plenty of room inside to store special somethings. I have already ordered another piece from Anna, and cant wait for it to arrive!

"One thing I have come to love about carving is that there is no waste of wood. Every small piece of wood can be used to create small creatures."

"The skill to design is inborn. I can create sketches of styles for fabric before sending them to the seamstress and I'm also particular about... read more
