UNICEF Market Review and Giveaway

I got the Natural Onyx Fruit Figurine Sculpture, 'Tempting Pear' on the UNICEF Market website, made by the Sierra Family. Their town of Puebla is renowned in Mexico for its carvings in onyx and marble, which is mined in the Mexican states of Puebla and Oaxaca. This pear I found to be exceptionally beautiful and unique, even more so when I saw it first hand. I love the natural grain of the stone in which the Sierra Family highlighted when they sculpted it and polished it smooth. The lovely white, honey, brown, red, and orange colors in the stone pear are brought out by the shape of the fruit figurine sculpture. A shiny brass leaf and stem top off the masterpiece. It now sits on my bookshelf and reminds me of harvest time of our own pears on our orchard trees.

I received a beautiful set of three Brazilian Good Fortune Stretch Agate Bracelets named 'Wonders' by their designers at Joias do Rio. These amazing bracelets are many shades of a gorgeous purple hue. Agates are apparently the ultimate gem of protection. They almost remind me of jelly belly beans. These beautiful bracelets are handcrafted with natural agate stones and enhanced in color. I love the color purple and these agates are a treat for the eye.

I also got to pick out a second gift. I chose a very unique vase that caught my eye called 'Galaxy'. It is a Nicaraguan Handmade Ceramic Bottle Shaped Decorative Vase made by artist, Duilio Torrez. This beautiful vase from Central America reminds me of a batik cloth or a very elaborate crayon etching. "The spiral contours of this vase represent our galaxy: stars, planets and the milky way," says Duilio Torrez as he explains the design of this extraordinary vase. I love gazing up at stars on a clear night. The designs on this work of art is etched into the ceramic material and colored with crushed stones to get the shades of red, blue, green, orange and black brushstrokes. This is a great piece to showcase in a room as a decoration.
