I love everything that Jose creates. The adorable animal sets combine masterful craftsmanship with whimsy. This Dalmatian family is the perfect addition to my collection of this artist s works. They brighten up and office or home space, are extremely cute, and always a conversation piece!

“A wonderful gift for my husband!”

My husbands mother was from Guatemala, and she loved hummingbirds. So when I saw these ornaments, I knew theyd be perfect for him. Each bird is decorated with a unique design, and they are all lovely and vibrant. For convenience, they come with a colorful pouch for storage (if you only want them as Christmas ornaments). But you can also hang them around the house for a pop of color and beauty.
