Novica 'Curious Owl' Wall Adornment

The J. Blas Artisan Collection is brought to you by Novica in Association with National Geograhic. This beautiful piece was handcrafted by J. Blas in Mexico. An artisan story card will be included with your purchase. Firmly grasping a tree branch with strong toes, a horned owl surveys his domain with interest. J. Blas sculpts the charming wall ornament in elaborate detail. He first cuts metal sheets and hammers them into three-dimensional shape. Welded together, they are adorned with airy cut-out work and finished with lead-free paint. ; About the Artist: J. Blas; Mexican artisan J. Blas has always loved handicrafts. 'When I was 17, I started my own ceramic workshop. But I changed directions and began to work in wrought iron and blown glass. I experimented with sheets of iron to give my works more movement. We cut the metal sheets, hammer them into shape and weld them before treating to retard rust. Every piece created at my workshop goes hand in hand with originality, design and quality. We are always developing new designs and products.'
