Shop our Fimo Sculpture - These beautiful and artistic animals are created with fimo clay. Many different colors of fimo clay are used in each design. Colored canes of clay are used to create an illustration. The central design is repeatedly stretched and cut as other designs are added. Just as in nature simplicity is replicated over and over until the finished organism becomes quite complex. The composite image is finally reduced by stretching to the size of a small coin and then cut and applied much like mosaic tiles to the animals form. Each and every stage of the process is done by hand. Because each piece is hand made no two pieces are exactly a like.

Shop our Carvings from Ecuador - Located in the northwest portion of Ecuador, a unique venture began called the Tagua Initiative was formed.  This began in 1990 by Conservation International as a means of creating economic incentives associated with the tagua palm nut, trying to find a way for the harvests to be sustained.  Because of this initiative, today we see almost 2,000 people belonging to the Comuna Rio Santiago-Cayapas, holding down jobs.  However, these jobs depend on the rainforest being left unharmed, allowing the tagua nut to continue growing.
