“Makes me smile”

John Barrow is one of my very favorite living artists, and I have collected quite a few of his pieces. When I opened this package, I was greeted by this jaunty fellows delightful grin. The light-hearted sculpture is a departure from Barrows other work. It is shiny and whimsical and so much fun. I purchased it on a whim, but it has quickly found Its way into my heart.

I sent this as a gift! It was love at first sight! She named him Tomas He is the same on both sides, so he is reversible, which I hadnt realized. The red and blue colors are vibrant! This is so well made and sweet.... instant smiles!

“Love-infused Wooden Heart (with a smile & a nod to Elvis Presley)”

I bought this for my sister who is drawn to red and the symbolism of hearts. Upon first glance it appears to be made up of a variety of stones placed together. This is exquisitely designed and executed and sits proudly in a predominant position in her home. Thank you John Barrow and to Novica for a speedy and safe delivery.

A place of honor is best, but should be seen by all
