Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly
Sturdy, solid,, a very well-crafted item--to say nothing of extremely beautiful -- and I was pleased and surprised to find such a well-attached hook and balances on the back side. Very glad I purchased, as well as the "yellow bird" (equally well made and pretty!) The colors of this hummingbird are exquisite. Terrific artist!! cml

Indoor or outdoor (deck/patio) decorAs beautiful as a real hummingbird!
I love this little item. It is so delicate looking flying on the wall. The colors are very vibarant. Will buy this for gifts for my family and friends.
I was so glad to find this little bird. So much home décor featuring birds is cheap-looking, and this is anything but that. High quality, striking colors; it is a pop of color on the wall. Highly recommend!
I received this well packaged, quickly and with a personalized message as well as history of the meaning of a hummingbird to the country of Mexico. I was very honored to have this personal message and am appreciative of your attention to details. This will become one of my favorite pieces of art.
Gracias
Just received this morning and its hanging on my wall. It is exactly what I have been looking for - size, colors, quality. It is well made and the colors and finish are beautiful. Thoughtfully made with bracing to hang evenly on the wall without tilting. Highly recommend.
My Godson passed away two years ago in May. He and his mom, my sister, loved hummingbirds. When we see them now, we are reminded of his spirit. This beautiful sculpture is a gift for his mother, and I got one for myself as well. I especially loved the messages inside about the meaning of the bird, and the caring way in which it was wrapped. She will love it.
The metal work forming and cutting is very good. However, the colors are significantly more muted than depicted in the photographs. There is a texturing material that has been applied before the painting. It is a nice idea but was applied too unevenly, with several clumps in the range of 1/8 in to 3/16 in (3 to 5 mm) in size. It is still a pretty piece, but but not what I expected. It won't go in the "pride of place" position I had planned. It's not bad enough to return, but not what I had hoped for.
I received this as a birthday gift and just love it. I would not have picked it out for myself so it was a very nice surprise. It came in attractive wrapping and included a postcard with a personal note making it extra special. I am very impressed and would buy from this artist again.
I purchased this for my mom as a Mother?s Day gift and she absolutely loved it! She said that it came beautifully wrapped and the art work as amazing! Thank you so much for helping me make her day special and provide a gift that lets her know how much she means to me.
My mother cannot wait for the hummingbirds to migrate back to Wisconsin every year. She loves watching them and also the challenge of trying to photograph them. When I saw the Little Emerald Hummingbird sculpture, I knew it would make a great gift for her. She thought it was wonderful also and now she can have a hummingbird to enjoy all year long.
Very Beautiful hummingbird wall hanging. I ordered another one to go with this one so I can have a set or hummingbirds on my wall, near my hummingbird I see out the window next to where I hand these! These are keepers!

"Every piece crafted at my workshop goes hand in hand with originality, design and quality."
"Hello. My name is J. Blas. From the time I was small I have enjoyed arts and crafts. I loved to dig and prepare clay to make my own pieces and from that time on I began to experiment with ceramics. When I was 17, I started my own ceramic workshop because I hate to ask anyone for work – I feel shy and ashamed. Due to my lack of experience, I had to shut it down and went to work in other studios as well as in a ceramics museum, where I learned everything – from how to look for clay to crafting techniques.
"Over time, I learned more and more and became aware of the critical stages that clay has, and where it is good to depend on other people to work it perfectly. And so I changed directions and began to work in wrought iron and blown glass. When things began to get better, I started to experiment with sheets of iron of different weights to give my works more movement.
"Currently I again have my own workshop where we craft a variety of products, mostly decorative. We cut the metal sheets and hammer them into shape. Then we weld them and add the details. For a clean appearance, we submerge them in an acid bath to remove grease and carbon. After that, they are treated to retard rust before we paint them with a special, lead-free paint.
"We are the first workshop in the area to utilize a fine blowtorch as a work tool and to give more originality to our products. Every piece created at my workshop goes hand in hand with originality, design and quality. We are always developing new designs and products."

Took a peek before sending off an iron wall sculpture candleholder as a gift. Beautiful color and form, and ultralight, hanging from one centered loop. A real work of art!
