Artist Arlen Estrada lost most of her hearing when she was young, but this served to help her find her real path in life, the visual arts. Her work focuses on clay and painting, such as this beautiful angel figure. Hand-molded and hand-painted, the celestial messenger represents the Angel of Light.

Perfect for hanging on a wall or displaying on a tree, this holiday decor is created by Togog Suyasa in Bali. He handcrafts this lovely angel from albesia wood, painting her dress blue. The angel holds a silver-tone star with a gleaming steel halo around her head and natural pandan fiber forming her long braids.

India's Fida Hussain finds motivation in the magic of the holidays, creating a gorgeous set of three ornaments perfect for adding a charming touch to your home decor. The artisan works with papier mache to create a smooth surface that allows him to paint the floral motifs in a tender palette of blue hues. Furthermore, each accessory comes in different sizes and features polyester strings.

Tropical fish become festive ornaments from Bali. Each albesia wood ornament is painted by hand by Ketut Nadiasih, from Bhakti Senang Hati. The set includes four lively fish hanging from golden cords.

"I'm Ketut Nadiasih, from Tampaksirin. I'm the fourth of seven siblings and our parents are farmers with no educational background. I had Poliomyelitis when I was a little girl so I rarely went outside my parents’ house unless somebody could carry me anywhere I wanted to go. I felt so at peace and happy when my nephew carried me to see the world outside for the first time - a world that is full of colors. I enjoy crafting something with both my hands that can be used by people. When I married my husband, whom I met at the foundation, I knew the meaning of happiness. We work together to create ornaments, my husband carves the pieces and I finish and paint them."
