"‘Bird of Paradise"
Abel Rios, is a very gifted artist. His ‘Bird of Paradise footstool has become a favorite item. I m sure of its heirloom position. One of the kids will fall in love with it. I made a small change by replacing the zinc bolts with black ones. I also sent word and photos back through the Novica networks as these may not be readily available to the artists.
