Mauricio Morales crafts a petite ceramic bird figurine that features exquisite hand painted detailing. "The process for making these small creatures was something I learned when I was small. Since then, it has become a passion of mine," says the Guatemalan artisan, adding that the sculpture is made for, "all of those who love birds." He starts by mixing the clay and carefully shaping the figure, and then he adds aluminum legs and feet. After the bird is fired, he sands it, mixes his own colors and paints the figurine. The result is a charming and precise depiction of a female cardinal complete with red-orange bill and reddish crest.

"Rememberance Gift"
Gave this as a rememberance gift and my sister loved it. I have bought several different birds as gifts and a couple for myself because they are very realistic, very well made. Mauricio pays very close attention to detail. I have not been disappointed.

"Great gift!"
My sister-in-law adored this. Her lovely home attracts all sorts of birds, who gather at her bird feeder daily. This was a nice way to post tribute to them!

"Beautiful Oriole"
I gave this as a gift and the recipient put it in a outside planter and it still looks good after a few years. He loves Orioles and happens to be a Baltimore Orioles fan.

"I needed this sweet Pink Robbin"
Thank your Mauricio! Your work never ceases to amaze me. I dont think I will ever truly have enough of your birds. This little robin flew all the way from Australia via your hands in Guatemala. I love learning all about new-to-me-creatures in the world, so I read all about my new little beauty.

"Soooo adorable !!!"
I fell in love with Puffins when we saw them off the Maine coast. They are just like Mauricio depicted, colorful and playful. It is a great addition to our Maine room decor. Perfect.

"Thrilled!"
This is my fourth bird carving by Sr. Morales. It is my second favorite! Lovely detail and expression. Have seen a. wild Snowy Owl once, as every so often they come down from the Arctic Circle to Maine when their food supplies run low after a population surge. This commemorates that very rare experience. Thanks for this beauty!
