These coasters are beautiful reminders that our deceased loved ones are never forgotten. These particular pieces match my kitchen perfectly too so they are great for every day use and haven't faded, chipped, etc. They are one of my absolute favorite purchases!

I live close to the border with Mexico and have learned a lot about the culture since moving here decades ago. I always liked Halloween, but since becoming aware of the Day of the Dead I immediately took to it. I spend that day each year thinking about the people of significance in my life who are gone, and how one day I too will make that journey. I think the celebration is handled much, much differently in Mexico, but I am happy to have found this small momento to remind me of this important occasion every day. The craftsmanship is very well done. This is the second box I have purchased from this artist and I plan to add another soon. The compartments are not lined, but this can be added easily. Check dimensions so you are not disappointed with sizing. Also, note that the brightness of the colors can vary due to photography settings and computer monitor resolution.

I'm SO glad I bought this beautiful wooden box! I couldn't wait to get it, and now that I have it I'm delighted!There are no gross (large) or fine (small) mistakes on this piece; the craftmanship is OUTSTANDING. It looks just like the picture online, only better. The grain of wood inside the box is smooth and even. No splintery surfaces. No uneven color or grading. Very, very well done. A beautiful piece done by masters. My name is Rose Ocampo and I wholeheartedly endorse this talented, meticulous, creative artisan. Artist! Thank you for your loving work, and for enhancing my home. Bravo.

This box is perfect! The artful exterior is minutely detailed, the colors and finishing touches exact. Love the craftwork, and style. There's a mirror inside and the size is right what was wanted, not too big or small. The scent of the wood added to the beauty of this, honestly impressive jewel box. Buy this! You won't be disappointed.

The box is so pretty! I thought when I first received it that it would be too small for all my jewelry. But most of my things fit inside, with a little room to spare. It is sturdy and should last for years to come. I recommend this box to anyone who wants to store their jewelry or little knickknacks in a beautiful, easy-to-access space.

Beautifully made box. I wanted a small box that I could place miscellaneous small items in at my desk and this works perfectly. The lid and drawer open and close easily, but the best part is every time I look at it I smile. What's better than seeing a skeleton drinking a bottle of tequila. This is another artist that I plan on following.

As amazing as you may visualize in the photo, this box is just stunning to see. The artist's talent is to perfection. The unique style of the Huichol art is evocative and indescribably pleasing to the eyes. I love this piece! I gifted the box to a male artist friend that has a style reminiscent of this art. This gift was such a big hit, everyone lavished praise on the work and beauty. The gift wrapping was just wonderful, the shipping was very fast (I did expedite it), I am incredibly pleased with this choice of artist and art in every way.

The other review (at present there is only one other) describes the quality and beauty of this little work of art perfectly. The size was one of the deciding factors for me - and the delicacy of the details. Everything is put together with reverence as well as skill. I like meeting Guadalupe around the house, and she touches the heart in this representation.

The only thing I would like different from this box is that is was bigger. I absolutely LOVE my box. I actually got the box to store my essential oils, for which it is perfect. The only thing I would like different from this box is that is was bigger so I could fit more. The art is amazing. I love the colors and the inside is perfect as well. The artist has done an Amazing job! I would definitely purchase from them again in the future!

Another "home run" for Ana Maria Gonzales in my book. This small box could be placed almost anywhere and used as a keep-safe for many things, but especially to corral stray jewelry bits and pieces. The interior is plain, stained pinewood, but a bit of cushioning felt could easily be added if desired. I adore the graphic: colorful, bright, happy, and amusing. As with all her boxes (I have five at present and three more on order) the execution is perfect. And I do mean flawless. This is a quality object. The lid fits exact and square, and is securely attached with two perfect brass hinges. The little drawer has a shiny, brass pull, well-secured. The edges of both the lid and the pedestal bottom are double-beveled, and finished in a burnished, antiqued gold. I love this little box--bought it for a gift, but couldn't give it away after it was in my hands.

This is a beautiful piece. The colors and the workmanship are excellent but I was so disappointed that the back is not covered in the decoupage. I had hoped to display but will place it where the back cannot be seen. Not covering the back and having plain wood makes the piece look unfinished.

Her website shows she has made many boxes which highlight the Huichol culture and its religious beliefs and gods. I really love the mandala and other pictures on this box; it is very interesting and colorful. I also learned something about this culture from reading the descriptions of her art work. I found it all very interesting and I want to thank her for making such lovely art while educating me. I will purchase another of her Huichol art works soon!

Latest Update
"My husband Ariel and I have worked with you since 2004. We began right after moving from Matamoros. We discovered you at a craft fair where we were exhibiting our work. At first, we experimented with several different crafting techniques such as stoneware ceramics. We wanted to see if we could grow with each technique. This is how we eventually arrived at decoupage.
"Decoupage isn't complicated, which lets us focus more on quality and increasing the variety of our designs. In this way, our workshop achieved a great workflow and, with your support, our income began to grow. For us, you offer a world-class marketplace that we appreciate and is, in fact, the basis of our day-to-day work.
A challenge that arose was our capacity to create what we'd imagined, but we entered into a pact with our assistants. We needed to provide them with more training and help them feel an enthusiasm for their work each day.
"It was you who taught us about the needs of international shoppers and helped us reach that level of quality."
Original Artisan Story
"Hi. I'm Ana Maria Gonzalez and, for as long as I can remember, I've been in contact with arts and crafts. My whole family produced them in one way or another and, whenever we'd visit our relatives, my cousins would and I would end up making something for fun.
"After I married, my husband and I created different kinds of handicrafts, but the need to make something different led me to launch my own collection of designs. I began making decorative boxes, painted by hand with different finishes. Today I craft boxes with vintage motifs.
"First we craft the boxes of pinewood. We sand them and then decorate them. Currently, I'm working in decoupage, adding an antique finish with a special formula I mix myself.
"My designs reveal a tiny bit of Mexico that I carry in my heart."
