Collections Etc Colorful Metal Mexican Talavera-Style Insect Garden Wall Art for Indoor and Outdoor Decoration, Butterfly

Omgosh! I absolutely LOVE these Mexican Talavera style metal garden wall sculptures!! They are SO pretty! The colors are very vibrant, and warmer in tone than the photo posted on Amazon (ie, the body of the dragonfly I received is orange, not a yellow as it appears on my screen). I got both the Dragonfly and the Butterfly sculptures. Both are just beautiful and perfect to brighten up a very green backyard area. We have planted several flowers, but as they won't be blooming until this summer or maybe even next year, I wanted a way to add some color. These sculptures are just what our soon to be garden needed. We are hanging these on a treated wooden fence (blah wood brown), that sits behind our old holly tree (our landscaper warned us NOT to plant over top of the holly's roots). The butterfly and dragonfly are going to look perfect there (though I wish each sculpture was just a tad larger -- but they are still a good size, approx 12 inches). I may end up getting a Talavera style lizard sculpture to add to the space.A reviewer here mentioned that they did not like the Dragonfly's "white" eyes, as they looked "cartoon-y". I have to agree that a "color" would have been prettier. I decided to color in the white with a turquoise blue polish (to match the lighter blue in the wings). It looks AMAZING! (I used Orly Blue Collar -- a turquoise cream nail polish for this! And I then sealed it with a fast dry nail polish topcoat -- Poshe) NOTE: Try NOT to touch the black part of the eyes with the nail polish brush, as it did bleed a bit. It was easily fixed by applying a second coat of the blue polish over the greyish black smears. :) I used a black Sharpie permanent marker to toiuch up one area of the black of the eye. Worked great! I am uploading a pic of the Dragonfly's BLUE eye-whites. I LOVE how it came out.

The colors are so vibrant. Brightens up the patio.

Everything regarding this transaction was top notch! It arrived on time, rather quickly. The item is bright, cheery, absolutely adorable, and looks great on my fence with my other decorations. I have gotten many compliments. I would definitely recommend, and can see myself as a return shopper. Thank you!

Pros: Vivid colors, good rep of imageCons: Flimsy, looks cheap, way too much money for this quality of product

The butterfly is so beautiful, it’s a beautiful addition to my garden! It was also very easy to hang!!

This talavera inspired dragonfly is so pretty. Looks great in my back porch!

I have it on my back porch and it gives a needed pop of color.

I want to report this product for incorrect sizing info. I had picked this product because of the size specifications: it is NOT 14 inches as it claims. The body is probably 10 inches with the antennae another 3. I measured it with a tape and it was exactly 13 inches. I gave it 3 stars because it is indeed pretty but I will be returning it.

beautiful colors. Looks great in our garden.

Looks good be nice if it would arrive sum day.
