Artist Robert Ayine Anaba of Ghana specializes in weaving and has handcrafted this unique fan that incorporates a fertility doll as its handle. The fan is woven from black and cream-colored raffia and the doll is carved by hand from sese wood. His original design makes a beautiful wall decoration and, as an added benefit, may be used to wave a cool breeze your way on a hot summer day.

Says Peruvian artist Julio Gallardo, "I love the type of work that I do, since it allows me to form whatever scene, thought, or idea in a wood box and deepen the significance of each detail." He handcrafts this retablo of local tornillo wood, featuring two swinging doors that are painted by hand with a floral design. These doors open to a fantastic world, depicting a group of salesmen in their tienda de corazones, surrounded by a variety of colorful hearts. Each miniscule piece in this retablo is crafted and painted by hand. Gallardo draws inspiration from themes of love, hoping to spread that with this creative retablo.
