Latest Update

“I joined Novica in 2001, introduced by a friend. Since then, I have succeeded step by step in achieving my dreams. Made a house for my little family, sent the kids to school and bought a motorbike.

“Before joining Novica I worked at home making sculptures. Then I marketed my work in art shops around my house. However, the results were insufficient to meet my family's needs, because of uncertain sales and unstable financial conditions. Thanks to Novica, my products are seen by customers and my sales are increasing yearly. Joining Novica 20 years ago was my best decision. How can a small sculptor like me receive a regular income, when usually a sculptor's life is swayed by uncertainty? Now I can even set aside my income little by little to realize the simple house my family dreams of.

“Since joining Novica I have been able to employ people around me and my close friends. I actively produce new designs and maintain production by employing people around me. I have helped the economy of the people around me, both friends and neighbors. Their economic dependence on my sales now makes me even more productive and creative in my work. They are not only friends to me, but also partners in achieving my success with Novica.

“During my time at Novica, I have never won an award but I have often been in the top 10 artisans. I am very grateful for that. Since joining Novica, my sales have increased every year. I want to say thank you to Novica for helping me market my crafts. Not only for the income I receive, but for the positive reviews left by customers who enjoy my work -- this also becomes my enthusiasm and motivation to be more productive. I am also grateful for Novica's guidance in managing my business. I hope that Novica can continue providing microcredit to artisans like me, helping us with capital to produce more inventory and to create new designs.”

Original Artist Story

Born on February 21st, 1978 in Gianyar, Made Wirata is a carver of natural talent. Gianyar is renowned producing famous Balinese artist and artisans, and Wirata's family has been dedicated to this art for generations.

Wirata first learned to carve from his father, who specialized in a particular style of carving locally known as sri bunga as well as keris - a traditional dagger. When he finished elementary school, he apprenticed with his uncle, who taught him to carve traditional images. In 1993, his interest in art lead him to learn from a cousin how the carving of modern statuettes. Wirata began to sell his work in order to sustain his studies and now several galleries in Bali are collecting his creations.

Jill

Perfect gift!

I bought this as a gift for my mom. She loved it! So well made, it was perfect, thank you!

Linda

So cute and unique!

I bought this for my brother who loves owls. I have a silver necklace I will hide inside for his birthday. The owl is so cute and well made. Taking it apart and putting it back together is fun. I know he will love it!

Christian

Lovely!!!

My congratulations to the artist for yet another beautiful work of art.

Joel

Very neat item

Cute item for a gift for someone who likes owls.

Carole

It is still a secret.

The owl is a gift for my nephew who lives a distance away and will not receive the gift for another week or two. However, if I could rate the packaging, I would give it a 5-star rating. The gift wrap is unique and quite beautiful -- almost like a gift itself. I wish I could take a peek, but I will have to wait until after he receives it.

Donna

This was a perfect gift

The is really was a perfect gift for any owl lover. I gave it to a friend and she loved it.

Tonya

It was just the right thing at just the right time

There is a story to Owls in my family, it goes like this.My Father had one for a pet when he was a child and when it died his Father taxidermied it on a stick. and my very wise Father passed it to my older brother. It hung in his bedroom in the corner for our whole childhoods. I don't know what happened to it, but today sadly we closed up the house because my father has passed on. I bought this for my brother so he could perhaps remember our childhood with some fondness.

Mary

Fun

Bought several of these as "grab bag" gifts for family. They were a big hit :)

My Beloved

When my yellow lab passed on, I lost my other half. We spoke/barked silently and understood each other completely. She is/was incredibly compassionate and part of all we did. My heart still aches and I have a little "altar" of her on her breakfast table (a human's bedside breakfast table; just the right height for her to eat and drink water) along with other lab figurines. It came at just the right time and I am comforted by it. Thank you Made Wirata.

Amazing Sculpture

This wood sculpture far surpassed my expectations. Upon the package arriving, let me tell you that much care and dedication was taken to protect this piece of art during shipment. It was wrapped at least 8 times with heavy paper and strategically place support in the open areas of the piece. I knew that someone put as much love in to the shipping as they did to create the piece. BEAUTIFUL!!

Magnificent work of art!

This sculpture has all ready become a treasured item in my home. It could represent so many things. I chose to keep it with items from another part of the country where I lived for many years. The piece is "Thinking of you". And I am reminded of that part of my life & the happiness I had while living there. The piece is exquisite. I treasure it after only a short time in my home.

Wooden Puzzle Box

I received this box today and it is very well made. I plan to give it as a gift so I took it apart to see if it was easy to put together and it is. The wood is very nice and smooth and easy to take apart and put back together without any sharp edges and it stays together very well. The workmanship is beautiful! Thank you Mr. Wirata for your beautiful and delicate work.

A work of art and love

I am thrilled with my choice. It may seem strange, but I intend to use my heart box as a holder for some of my ashes to be buried with my soul mate. It is a perfect symbol of my life. Surely this puzzle box could have countless uses as a gift. Don't be freaked out by my use. The box is truely beautiful
