Perched on a base of benalu wood, Yudi Suardi's penguin is a cheerful fellow. The Balinese artisan uses local hibiscus wood with a gorgeous natural grain to craft the statuette, carving the stylized bird by hand. Supported by a found piece of benalu wood, the penguin makes a splendid companion.

"Beautiful"
Yudi Suardi does beautiful wood carving. This lion has a wonderful expression each piece is unique to the piece of wood from which it is carved. Our lion has a slightly smaller face due to the wood piece used but is still very charming. My family found it to be a wonderful gift and appreciated the work that went into the design and execution of the carving. Love that Novica supports the arts and crafts of people from all over the globe and that it is giving these artists a place to showcase their talent !

"Nice sculpture : Mushroom Charm"
Hi Yudi, I received your Mushroom Charm sculpture. You have several that are all beautiful but this one is my favorite. I love walking in the forest, especially after a rain. The scent that emanates from the ground is incomparable and thats when you can see the largest selection of mushrooms. Here its winter and snow. Your sculpture keeps alive the fragrance I love so much. Thank you so much.

"Cute, sweet"
One of my first ever orders from Novica was a hummingbird in mushrooms by Yudi Suardi. This one has the same clever use of the beak to give the sculpture a feeling of dynamic motion, and its neat because you dont usually see baby hummingbirds in art.

"Benalu was not used in sculptures but only as firewood. But I saw the enormous potential in this wood because of its unique and fascinating shapes — no two pieces are ever identical."
