Novica, provides many talented artisans with the opportunity to pursue those talents instead of work low income drudge jobs. In the words of a wood scultpor from Bali, Ketut Taram, "Before working with Novica, I sold my work at our local art market, with only a few months of good sales per year. There, buyers didn't seem interested in knowing about the artist. They just bargained for a souvenir - for a memory of Bali, at the cheapest price. At that time, my main concern was just to earn enough to support my family. Everything began to change when I joined Novica. Now, I'm directly connected to interested customers around the world. They know my name, and they read my biography. I now enjoy reading compliments written by my customers, especially those who explain how certain of my carvings carry important meanings for them. Now Novica accounts for half of my income and the respect Novica has brought me, as an artist, is priceless."

I ordered Highball glasses, 'Confetti' (set of 6) and I absolutely love them. In fact, I have been growing more and more attached to them. They are very pretty and a nice weight, not to light or heavy. They are just the right diameter to be able to fit your hand inside of and wash out. These highball glasses are adorned with bright bursts of color and go great with a wide variety of dishes. These glasses are dishwasher safe and, of course, free of lead and toxins. Since the 1990s, the aritists, Javier Gutiérrez and Efrén Canteras have worked together to preserve Mexico's blown glass artistry.

I also ordered a Cotton tank top in 'Classic Olive' from Bali. It adapts the classic tank top to show off the shoulders. I liked that it is 100% cotton and is not too close to the skin. It is great for keeping cool in the hot weather as fitted tanks always make me sweat! It is a great basic for my summer wardrobe. It also came packaged beautifully!
