A classic camera stands on a tripod, ready for a series of professional stills. Crafted of an astonishing assortment of recycled metal, the image springs from the imagination of Armando Ramírez. He transforms metal scraps, screws and washers into a modern art sculpture.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

This ceramic jaguar mask keeps an eye out from its place on the wall. Hand painted with great detail, the mask is beige with black accents. Handcrafted by Mexican artisans Juan and Lorensa, the mask has two holes in the back for easy hanging on a wall.

Depicted with a blue face and a majestic, colorful headdress, the face of the Mayan god of death, Ah Puch is depicted in this archaeologically-inspired mask from Mexico. The Angel Ceron Artisan Association presents this mask, which is handcrafted from ceramic by local artisans.

Similar to the legendary Olmeca head, this colorful mask celebrates Mexico's unique flora and fauna. Eufrosia Pantaleon paints elegant peacocks on the cheeks and head while flowers blossom on the nose and temples of this ceramic wall mask.

Working with recycled auto parts and scrap metal, Mexico's Armando Ramirez creates wonderful eco-friendly sculptures like this rustic movie projector. Look closely and you'll see gears, bearings, springs, and other parts in the unique sculpture. It makes a terrific gift for any film buff.

A beautiful gift for the photographer friend in your life, Ira S.'s statuette depicts a pert robin perched on a classic film camera. Balinese artisans use local suar wood to hand carve the robin, painting its features in carefully blended hues of orange and brown. Placed on a albesia wood camera, the robin makes a charming companion.
