"As a little boy I loved stories about sea adventures and was fascinated with mermaids. Now as an adult, I've been interested in representing these mythical beings - beautiful women with fish tails. That's what inspired me to design these ornaments," confides José Arriola. The Guatemalan artisan handcrafts the ornaments of ceramic and paints each one with acrylics with different themes. The six ornaments hangs from bright red ribbons, and the set arrives in a traditional cotton pouch woven on a pedal-loom.

"Owl be talking to you!"
These two owls are irresistibly! They look so chatty, dont they?! Just looking at them makes me smile. I am making them my spirit animal! They are right next to another Novica product; a two sided cat! I just got a lovely porcelain Robin bird for my birthday. The five of them are near me on my side table. A round Robin. Thats an old term for people seated around a table. They remind me of parrots bopping around and it makes me laugh. If Jose Arriola reads this, I love the birds so much! Thank you for your artistry.
Best Uses
- They are ornamental so they don't do much but I could almost swear she winked at me!

I bought these last Christmas to put on my mini tree. Unique, and its hard to choose which piece is my favorite. Its a toss-up between the mango and aguacate! Thank you José.

"These are lovely!"
More substantial and pretty than I expected. And I loved being able to show my grandchildren the video showing how they are made.

"Stunning"
These are so beautiful. I moved to another continent and where I live now, there are no hummingbirds. So this is a way for me to keep a little bit of the spirit of these beautiful animals. I love these ornaments, they are very delicate and beautifully crafted. They are also very light.
