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."
a gift for my best friend
This is a gift for my best friend. She lives in Merida, Mexico and loves Catrinas. I bought her one a few years ago and she loved it. I chose this one as she is an amazing gardener. This catrina of the garden is so gorgeous. The colors and craftsmanship are amazing. My friend is coming home for Christmas so I am very excited to present her with this beautiful piece of art.
