Gift Idea: Artisan Pieces From Around The World @NOVICA GC #sponsored

May 9, 2013 by Dawn McAlexander

Novica ~

something special

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, we bloggers decided to take a moment to celebrate moms. Moms, the Something Special for Mom Giveaway Event is for YOU! Cheap Is The *New* Classy is happy to have an awesome prize – a $50 Gift Code sponsored by Novica. There are also a ton of other great prizes in the linky below my rafflecopter! This awesome hop is brought to you by the Blogging Mamas Network!

Novica Handmade Jewelry and Artisan Crafts

You Must Pay The Rent ceramic art from Novica

If you are looking for the perfect gift for mom this Mother’s Day, then you should definitely check out Novica. They offer a wide variety of gifts and unique items that Novica has to choose from. For my review, I chose the “You Must Pay The Rent” ceramic wall art. I think it’s funny and what got me most was the artist’s description of why he did this piece.

“What inspired me to create this artwork is the expression on the face of house owners when their tenants refuse to pay their rent,” says Ghanaian artisan Azariah Norteye. Working in ceramic, he depicts the stern landlord as a wall sculpture.

I like his style. ๐Ÿ˜‰ We have done a couple of reviews for Novica now and we always LOVE their items. They are always excellent quality and made to last. We have reviewed bags and jewelry {my daughter kept these} and I anxiously await this beautiful piece of art to hang in my home and be a conversation piece!
