“Love-infused Wooden Heart (with a smile & a nod to Elvis Presley)”

I bought this for my sister who is drawn to red and the symbolism of hearts. Upon first glance it appears to be made up of a variety of stones placed together. This is exquisitely designed and executed and sits proudly in a predominant position in her home. Thank you John Barrow and to Novica for a speedy and safe delivery.

A place of honor is best, but should be seen by all

“Amazing Craftsmanship”

This heart is beautiful and really makes an impact in my room. I feel the size is perfect, and the item was in perfect condition and carefully wrapped. I also purchased a sculpture of a herdsman from this artist, and that piece was amazing as well. I will cherish this item -- thank you!

“I always love John Barrows birds!”

I have several pieces from John Barrow, including every piece Ive seen by him featuring brightly colored birds. Im always watching for when he puts out a new colorful pieces featuring birds, and this was the first Ive seen in a while. I love birds, and the mosaic sculptures he makes are a really great fit when they are colorful. They also have a really nice aromatic smell to them which I think is the wood he uses—Ive noticed that smell in Sugos work (also a woodcarver from the Andes) as well.

“I was looking for that something, and found it.”

I expected excellence from a self-labeled perfectionist, and I got it. Thank you!
