My First Novica Purchase From Ana Maria Gonzales
Over time I have purchased a number of Ana Maria's stunning decoupage crosses and decorative boxes. This is the one that began my collection. While the feeling is rustic and antique, the cross itself is finely and perfectly finished--without flaw. The picture doesn't do it justice. There is substance to the pinewood and the edge is beveled and beautifully finished in a muted gold. The metal ring for hanging has the appearance of aged iron.The colors are clear, yet soft. The size is 11 inches high, small enough to fit above a doorway or in a grouping of objects, and still large enough to make an impression when hung alone. This is a very tasteful cross, crafted with care and artistry. I was so happy when I received it, that I immediately ordered a second cross from the artist, the larger "Virgin Morenita Guadalupe."
Absolutely gorgeous
I have been eyeing this sweater for months. Finally, I was able to save $20 off, so placed my order. I am a fan of Ana Fernandez's sweaters, and this one did not disappoint. The sweater fits me perfectly (size S). I can wear it buttoned down or not. The colors make it possible to wear with lots of different color slacks or jeans, although it is just a tad dressy for the latter. The pattern is woven in; at first I thought it was embroidered on, but I assure you it is woven as part of the garment. It truly is better in person than in the photo. And it is sooo soft. I absolutely love this item: the style, the overall pattern on the front, cuffs, and back, as well as its versatility. Ana has a fan in me. I can't wait to see what she designs next.
