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. A peaceful forest emerges in cool blue tones, suggesting the delicacy and mystique of the Andean mountains. Lithe tracery details a simple house, its antique warmth accentuated by crackled surfaces. This box by Hernan Rivas is crafted and painted by hand. Artisan Info: "Like the majority of those who work with wood, our education was based in practice and experience. In my case, I've been working with wood for more than 25 years, although I've only been working in this specific area for 12 years. My goal is to produce practical elements for the home that are not only useful, but also serve to embellish the surroundings. I use smooth and natural colors to project a feeling of tranquility and peace. "Before elaborating a work, I make a feasible design and then proceed to shape the wood in accordance with the size I need. After I have cut all the pieces, I begin to put it together, using a press and synthetic glue. Later, I sand it to smooth out uneven areas before applying putty to the rough spots and sanding by hand. Then, using a brush I bathe the piece in white latex paint mixed with glue, so that the paint can crack, making it ready for the decoration. This is realized with fine, steady brushes before the work is lacquered to provide adequate brilliance. "I've participated
