"Hummingbirds are a daily feature in our gardens, that's why I combined the image of the bird with the flowers and colors of Guatemalan gardens. What I like about hummingbirds is that they seem to be full of energy, they're beautiful and yet delicate," confides José Arriola. The talented artisan handcrafts the ornaments of ceramic and paints each one with acrylics with different themes. The six ornaments hangs from bright red ribbons, and the set arrives in a traditional cotton pouch woven on a foot loom.

“Bright and beautiful hummingbirds”

The hummingbird squadron is bright, beautiful and charming. Wonderful to hang on a Christmas tree or in a kitchen window (which is where I currently display my little hummers). The art work is wonderful and the packaging and gift wrap are great. The package arrived when expected and in excellent shape. The only suggestion I would have to the creator of these wonderful little ornaments is that it would be great if the painted designs were on both sides of the ornament. I have my hummingbirds displayed in a window which allows the wind to blow them around and I only wish they had the gorgeous painted design on both sides of the ornament for that reason. But these are such a great little squadron anyway! Cheers to the artist and to Novica !

“Stunning”

These are so beautiful. I moved to another continent and where I live now, there are no hummingbirds. So this is a way for me to keep a little bit of the spirit of these beautiful animals. I love these ornaments, they are very delicate and beautifully crafted. They are also very light.

“Amazing”

I just adore these birds. I have an iron structured tree I brought at an antique sale. Wanted something special to display on the branches; these birds are the perfect accent needed. Will like to view more of his items. Thanks for such wonderful craftmanship.
