~TILE & STONE VANITY TOP~~CUBIERTA en PIEDRA & AZULEJOS~

This is an example of my 'collage style' tile designs. Here I use tile from 2 tile houses of Guanajuato with sink and accents cut from Saltillo tile along with cut & formed stone from Durango.

The shower uses these same elements, as does the built-in pedestal bed headboard and side tables. I have started a blog dedicated to our tile & tile projects.

~HUMMINGBIRD at the DOOR~~COLIBRI en la PUERTA~

Our finishing touch to a home re-model in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora. Hand-cut ceramic tile and glass drops, all made in Mexico!

~ANNOUNCING~A September 2012 opening!  A tile shop/design center annex to Galeria Colibri. We're making our preparations and looking forward to our next adventure in artistic tile. We'll be bringing in ceramic, glass and stone tiles from our favorite tile houses in Saltillo, Lerdo, Dolores Hidalgo, Tonala', Puebla & Ciudad Mexico. There are some truely amazing tiles out there, in diverse styles to fit every taste & budget.  I love collaging with all the colors, textures, finishes & patterns.

~ENCHANTING SHAWL~~REBOZO ENCANTADOR~

Another example of 'Love Incarnate' and the richness that infuses the daily lives of the wonderful artisans and their family members. Notice the adorable 'animalitos' inhabiting this beautiful cross-stitched wool rebozo from Michoacan. It's handwoven wool with cross-stiched designs. very snuggly & comfey. I've even worn mine here in Vallarta, enjoying my morning cup on the deck, watching sunrise color our world.

~¡JAGUARES MAGICOS!~~MAGICAL JAGUARS!~

These beautiful jaguar masks were made by one of our favorite families of Alebrige crafters. La familia Joaquin Vasquez Hernandez from San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca.

Jaguars have been revered in Mesoamerica since time immemorial. They are truely amazing creatures. These largest of cats in the western hemisphere are only in the Americas, descendants of the Asian leopards who crossed the Bering Land Bridge and evolved to their new environs. Their prowess and strength earned them a Godly status with the early human inhabitants of the New World. They have yet to relinquish their thrones.
