Blue Wood Cross Wall Sculpture with Milagros Charms, "Miraculous Blue Cross"
Carved from pinewood and painted by hand, this petite wall plaque depicts a Christian cross with rounded ends. Jaime Hernandez covers the image with an assortment of milagritos, or "little miracles." These diminutive charms represent petitions or answered prayers and depict animals, possessions, and even body parts that have been healed. In Mexico, such charms are often given to the image of Christ or a saint in gratitude for miracles performed.

"Colorful and gorgeous piece, even better in-person"
While the picture included gives an idea of the vibrant color and composition, this piece really makes the space in our home office come alive and is in particular one of my wifes favorite decorations!

"Just stunning"
they are so beautiful. I originally thought Id use them as a garland for special occasions, but now have the hanging so we can see them every day.

"So beautiful! Painted just for me"
Many thanks, Jaime! I was delighted to open my box today. The hummingbirds I received are incredible... It is as if Jaime painted them all just for me. Mine are even more beautiful than the ones pictured -- each one is unique. Now I want to buy more them to give away as gifts and keep these for myself (My plan is to turn them into individual ornaments - Definitely keeping three that are so very special). I was first introduced to Jaimes work by another Fair Trade seller (I bought three of his free standing small tin birds to give as gifts from that seller). Hurry and buy his hummingbirds now as his work sells quickly.

"Festive Doves"
As adorable as the photos of Festive Doves show it to be ... The name and photos do not do it justice. These colorful metal birds will adorn any thing you wish to adorn 3

"My offering for my uncles ofrenda"
My cousin has constructed an ofrenda for his father and this little beauty was my addition to it along with an album from a singer he liked. Beautiful way to remember our loved ones who have passed. This is small but well crafted. It has a flat back so it can either lay on a table or be hung on a wall.
