“Picture this in your home”

The Rustic Photographer auto metal sculpture is one of several pieces by Armando Ramirez that I have purchased from Novica. He is one of my favorite artisans, and Ive given his creations as gifts to family members to celebrate their careers or special interests. His sculptures are unique and whimsical, and Im so impressed by the details he is able to incorporate in them. Im already looking at his collection to get ideas for Christmas.

Whimsical unique detailed room decor, conversation piece This was a gift for Son Occasion: birthday

“So unique and great detail and craftsmanship”

I first purchased a piece of Armondos metal recycled art here in the US at Christmas village, it is a holiday outdoor village market, that they have for about a month only during the holidays. It is a village of different cultures/nationalities, from all over the world. I bought an upcycled Motorcycle piece. Unfortunately all I have is a photo of the box, with the picture of the item on it. As I gave it to someone as a gift. It was just so unique, the perfect gift for whom I was purchasing it for. Fast forward I returned to the Christmas village yearly looking for his stuff again, but to my sadness he was not there. About two years ago, I found his art work here on Novica and purchased another piece(Truck Cab) for a gift. Again the gift was a hit, the person loved it, and its uniqueness, that no 2 are really the same, because they are hand crafted. I am a big Fan of Armondos upcycled art.
