The natural richness of the Costa Rican ocean marvels many around the world, obtaining the recognition of "Paradise on Earth." As those charming seascapes are inhabited by wondrous creatures, artisan Ruth Guevara creates an exquisite magnet collection, capturing the life in those blue waters.
The process starts with a round pinewood piece, polished for a lustrous look and equipped with a magnet. Ruth uses the sturdy structure as a base, completing it with a serene sea turtle and colorful seaweed entirely made from cold porcelain and painted by hand, showing the festive side of the sea.
