The Milagros Mobiles are inspired by the Mexican (originally Spanish) tradition of milagros. The milagro is a votive in the shape of a body part, sacrificed at a sacred place to protect the part of the body it's shaped after, or what the part represents.
The symbols used together with the body parts in the Milagros Mobiles are symbols traditionally used for emotion, protection and balance in different cultures and religions.
The parts used in the pieces are picked to together create a meaning, a purpose, to answer a need.
All the pieces are hand sawn, handmade in silver, copper and other metals.
