Product Description

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Shadows recede as dendrobium orchids open their golden petals to the sun's radiant caress. Standing tall on deep green stalks, the flowers represent the artist's fascination with nature. Intending to achieve photographic clarity, Thai artist Prachuap Chaikham-udom expertly recreates life's vivid and colorful beauty. Artisan Info: "My name is Prachuap Chaikham-udom and I was born on March 24, 1957. My parents have five children and I am the second oldest. Our family owns a Thai sweetmeat making business. My brothers and sisters and I were always the assistants for my mother. She is a great northern Thai sweetmeat maker - if you have ever tasted her work you will never forget it. Her products have been famous for many years - over 50 years! Many people have ordered her works from many places and we always had a lot of work every day. We woke up early every morning, at 4 am, to prepare the ingredients of the sweetmeat. The children helped out by stirring the mix together and helping in any other details. You know, ever since I was young I have always helped my mother out and watched her, as she was mixing the ingredients, making the portions, when she did everything. But no one can make it taste like hers, not even me or my sisters. "My mother has influenced my life in every way.
