By Elias Garcia, this delightful diamond-shaped wreath carries a message — "Inspire." He covers it with handloomed Guatemalan textiles and adorns it with diminutive worry dolls in traditional dress, crafted by his sister of the Lopez Garcia family.

According to Maya legend, the sun god gave princess Ixmucane the gift of solving people's problems. With time people started making dolls in Ixmucane's honor and they would tell her their woes, hoping she would solve them through the dolls. Many people whisper to the dolls, then place them under their pillows at night, hoping that the doll will provide a solution as they sleep.
