Modern Rock Carvings in Bahia Asuncion


There is a very talented artist in Asuncion named Gabi who does some work for us who I have been encouraging to create more of his beautiful carvings. Guests at our Inn have special ordered carvings of things that interest them like vaquita dolphins, snakes, marlin, dorado etc and every one came out really great. They look really cool embedded in a wall like we did with this big Sirena he did that we put on our sign.



Here was the first Nomad to special order their piece.



Here are more of his beautiful carvings of various sizes. We have them for sale here at our place or you can put an order in through me for one in the size and subject you want.















and here is my new favorite!



this is what he showed up with a couple days ago...a patio table...how cool is THAT! See the coyote in the center stand? This table will last a lifetime!

If I was going to request a special carving (this is not a request) I would love to see what he could do with a roadrunner as a subject.

My compliments to the artist, I hope to check out the work this fall!

By the way, that mermaid doesn't look happy. She needs a smile on her face to re a real 'Sirrena'.
