The natural richness of the Costa Rican rainforest marvels many around the world, obtaining the recognition of "Paradise on Earth." As those divine landscapes are inhabited by wondrous species, artisan Ruth Guevara creates a sublime magnet collection, capturing the life in the woods.

To make this sweet set of three purple pig-shaped figurines, Jose Arriola works ceramic at high temperatures on wood and charcoal-fueled grills, a method used in his native Guatemala since the ancient times of the Mayans.

Hovering on whirring wings, a whimsical hummingbird seeks out the sweet nectar of flowers. Zeny and Reyna transform found pieces of copal wood into a delightful alebrije. These fanciful sculptures are a traditional folk art in Oaxaca, once based on twenty totems but today representing all kinds of animals. They take their name from a Calo gypsy word for "something difficult, tangled, confusing or fantastic."

Because each alebrije is individually created work of folk art, shapes will vary slightly. Small parts are separated for shipping to protect from breakage.
