~WEB-SITE ACTIVE~~PAGINA WEB ARRANCADA~

With our new web-site launched, we'll hopefully be a lot more visible on the internet. We look forward to creating some truly wonderful art for our neighbors in their homes & gardens. We're here all summer, so we'll be looking after all those projects you don't want to breathe the dust of during your time here in paradise. There's lots to explore on the new site, so get on over there...after you're done here, of course!

Find us here    http://www.ColibriDesignVallarta.com

Please also, check out our friends at PV Mirror on-line.  http://www.pvmirror.wordpress.com

You'll find fresh content from many interesting sources...including our own, if we may be so bold.

                                                     Now you'll know what to look for....

~REGADERA BUGAMBILLA~~BUGANVILIA SHOWER~

Here is one of my favorite beach showers. This is the third rendition of my design. They all come out a little different.

The planter & deco band is made of talavera tiles,with cut and shaped saltillo pavers.  The leaves, flowers & birds, are cut from brightly glazed saltillo made tile, the trunk from a very special saltillo tile that mimics sand.

My guys did 3 of these over the last decade of building in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora. I didn't have time to wait for the cut-in paint when I shot this...oh well.

~SERIE DE VIñEROS~~WINEMAKER SERIES~

We have 2 sets of this 6 piece series available. Here are the first 2 "chapters" of the story. Made in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, they are reminiscent of antique French country style ceramics. I love using these in kitchen & bar back-splashes. They combine well with a mixture of talavera 4"x4" that use the same colors.
On to the next 4......

~ANGEL EN SU NICHO~~ANGEL IN HIS NICHE~

We created this special niche for an angel we bought in Patzcuaro, Michoacan. Using a small corner is an easy way to create these very special places.  They won't obstruct traffic while adding a peaceful note to your environment.

This one uses a patterned, textured Saltillo terra-cotta tile for the base. Hnad-cut and modeled cantera and travertine stone accents as well as talavera tile and glass droplet tiles. All of it from our beloved MEXICO!!!

Just a few weeks away from taking new pics for clearer images. I've been trying to hold off, but since I've been getting page views and returning viewers, so not wishing to dissapoint, I dared another. Thanks for looking!
