An excellent choice of what would normally be scrap wood. It works well. I would suggest that the birds be wrapped separately when shipped because of their beaks being so delicate.
I am really happy with the Krishna Feathers earrings. The colors are vibrant and they are very well made. I love buying jewelry from Novica because it comes from such far away places and is made by somebody with an entirely different life. It seems to bond us all together.
I have purchased a number of these beautifully carved and painted masks and I am so pleased with Mr. Gleeful. He exudes exactly the happy sentiment that I needed to add and I smile every time I see him. Such wonderful artistry. I am sure you would love him as much as I do!
