Teresa Rucos Story
“I love Brazilian crafts with their many native American and African influences. My pieces are conceptual, and I try to express all my feelings and love for my work. It’s great to be able to share my country’s culture with you.
“I work from home, but participate in art exhibits. Even though my work has won awards, I continue working from home, which brings me a great deal of satisfaction. I enjoy it so much.
“I was born in Teresopolis. From the time I was a girl, I liked art and never stopped creating things. I painted a lot and took courses in painting, watercolor, studio classes with live models and several other courses. I learned little by little.
“In 1998, I began working in sculpture and found it easy, because I had a foundation in drawing. In the beginning, my inspiration came from nature and from models. Later on, I began creating from my own ideas, thoughts and feelings, and also let the materials that I know and use inspire me. Now I am freer, as I express my thoughts and let my ideas flow in my work.
“I am very happy to show my creations to the world through Novica. My work will be a little better known, and I look forward to seeing your reactions to it.”

Guena Quote
“Nowadays I travel throughout Brazil in search of crystals from Bahia, emeralds from Minas Gerais, agates from Rio Grande do Sul, and many other naturally occurring wonders. I continuously learn new techniques and craft different products. I realize I have experienced a great personal transformation. Although many times difficult, I have learned that the path of an artisan is a path without return in which a person experiences beauty to the maximum, as well as moments of singular freedom.
Ceramic candleholder, ‘Tree of Life’ Decoration on sale > $76.46 (was $84.95)
by Alberto Aparicio Canchari (Andes)
Ochre and terracotta tones underscore the drama in this delightful candleholder/decoration. Modeled of ceramic and painted by hand, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus center a composition of stars, spheres, doves and flowers. Alberto Aparicio Canchari crafts an exuberant design known as the “Tree of Life.”
“I’ve been a ceramist since I was a child, as my parents taught me the craft. Later, I tried to develop my own pieces with a personal style. My main purpose is giving life to my creations, and I’ve achieved this through the expressions of their faces, aiming to reflect daily attitudes, Peruvian country scenes, even protests – and I’m satisfied and content. In the workshop I work full-time with my wife.
“Most of our pieces are hand-molded, as only the weight of the hand can give the right shape. We use clay and simple tools; paints and pigments are blended together to produce the required hues, like that of the skin. All are made to resist high temperatures. The process starts from when we mold the pieces, then we paint them, fire them, and at the end, just polish them.

Accents In The Garden
Shop for garden statues, busts, angels and cherubs from Accents in the Garden the source for garden decor and outdoor statuary.
Love your garden? Love statues? Have a beautiful garden to decorate?
Then this is your site! Ever wondered why we love our outdoor spaces? Well I have often wondered that myself and have spent a lot of time thinking about it, and I think the biggest reason is safety and control! We always feel safe at home don’t we? It’s our haven away from the crazy world we live in.
And have you ever thought about why we spend so much time making our homes, and outdoor spaces warm and beautiful? I believe it’s because we can control those environments, and will spend all our time making them safe and comforting, so we have a special place to get away too! I know I do that with my house and yard, because they are mine and I can control what happens there, where I can’t control the rest of the world!
Knowing this can make you happy and will bring a smile to your lips, every time you look around at what you have done for your soul!
ACCENTS IN THE GARDEN can give song to your soul, when you look at all their beautiful heavenly products for you! Let’s look at what Accents in the Garden are all about…They say to you…..
Welcome to Accents in the Garden, your resource for garden and home decor. Browse our line of custom-made products of cast stone, aged stone, Italian marble, fiberstone and fiberglass.
Offering religious, angel, cherub or animal statues, garden benches, water fountains, bird baths, planters and iron furniture – you’re sure to find something for your home or garden!
Aged Stone:
Aged stone is a fiberstone mixture of sand and stones cast into the surface using terrazzo-like techniques. The surface is then sandblasted and chemically treated, followed by an acid stain to give the appearance of aged stone in our garden statues, gargoyles, planters, urns, and vases. Since it is reinforced with a fiberglass backing, it remains light-weight and less fragile than concrete.
Fiberstone or Fiberglass:
By mastering the art of casting our garden statues, gargoyles, planters, urns, and vases in fiberglass resin we manage to retain all the detail or the original with the added benefits of less weight, greater strength, and a product suitable for indoor and outdoor garden decor use.
Fiber Stone is a mixture of sand and stones cast into the surface using terrazzo-like techniques. The surface is then sandblasted and chemically treated, followed by an acid stain to give the appearance of aged stone. Since it is reinforced with a fiberglass backing, it remains light-weight and less fragile than concrete.
Italian Marble:
Italians have always been known for their remarkable art and design. In addition to their original sculptures and other fine art they are also known for their detailed marble castings. Accents in the Garden now offers these beautiful Italian statues for your home. We hope you enjoy our selection as much as we do.
How are they made? This fine statuary is created by reconstituting real Carrara marble (approximately 70% marble and 30% resin). This allows for exceptional detail that would be very difficult (if not impossible) to sculpt from a solid block of marble. Some sculptures are supported by a genuine black Carrara marble base to give it the elegance it deserves..
There are so many ways to decorate your outdoor haven and make it your special place to re-treat too, I will try to help you with a few ideas.
1/ Something I love to do is go outside at night and see my large pond all lit up, and my fish swimming around! How awesome is that? It gives me so much pleasure to see what I have created, and enjoy it to the fullest! So lighting is a great addition to your haven.
2/ Plants- Plants- Plants!! You can never have enough greenery and live flowers in your haven, so load up and make your yard very special with lots of color!
3/ Bring the Birds in! I spend a lot of time watching my special feathered visitors, so have bird houses in your trees and enjoy the show!
4/ Your haven needs furniture! You can place benches and chairs around your yard, at special places you enjoy like a pond or in among your flower garden. You will find yourself drawn there often!
5/ And of course we can’t forget about the best feature and that is water!! You really need to have a water feature, where you can sit and hear the water running. In my pond I have a high rock bed that the water runs down, and into the pond and OMG!! there is nothing like the sound of water!! I can sit there for hours just daydreaming!
6/ Something that really adds to your haven is STATUES!
I love ANGELS & CUPIDS! BUDDAH’S are awesome too, I have a laughing Buddah and smile every time I look at him. There are many beautiful statues out there and you will feel your body tingle when you find the one you should have, so touch them and spend some time quietly standing with each one. Trust me you will know!
When making your special haven use your imagination and what YOU are attracted to, after all it’s your haven and you want it to reflect who you are, not me or your neighbors!! The most important thing to remember is to have fun, make it your own and spend all your free time relaxing in your special place.
