"Truly magical"
My mom received her gift today and she was extremely happy! She showed me pictures, the moons were beautifully painted, loved every details. Package was so carefully wrapped it took her a while to open it and she also said that she didn t want to open the gift box as it was too adorable to. Thank you so much Mr Arriola for making her smile.

"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.

"This now has an important place on Mom's table!"
My parents love art and love their Siamese cats! This was the perfect Christmas gift for them. My mom has placed one of her many succulents in the "kitty-pot" as she calls it, and it is part of her table centerpiece. My dad says it reminds him of a feline Frida Kahlo! They are both enjoying it, and it brings smiles every day!

"Very cute, although one was missing the loop"
One of these six birds arrived missing the loop but thats not on the artist and I just used some nylon thread that I had to hang it. The birbs themselves are very cute little chonkers.

"Super cute cats!"
The artist really captures the frisky feline facial expressions cat lovers know so well. I love the bright colors and rustic charm of these ornaments. Great find!
