We’re changing our name!

July 15, 2017 by Latin American Art Gallery

Cosas Bonitas Oregon is rebranding as Latin American Art Gallery! We think that this name change will better present the fine art that we offer and be easier for non-Spanish speaking people to remember and spell.

Our new website url is https://latinamericanart.gallery please join us there!

The tiny chaquira, or seed beads, are applied by coating the surface of a carving or bowl with a beeswax mixture called campeche. The beads are then applied one by one using a needle. The vision of the artist comes to life as the beads are applied.

The beading is perfect with every bead in place. This can easily be seen by hovering over each image where it will expand, showing the incredible detail of this art.

The images may also be clicked to bring up a slideshow of enlarged images. Because smaller size 15 beads are used – called ‘microbeads’ – instead of the larger size 11, greater skill and artistry is required. The quality of the beading is unsurpassed!

Take care not to place this art in hot direct sunlight or near a hot lamp. This may soften the beeswax. Otherwise, with gently handling, this art will stay in perfect shape.
