Salvador Petzey

"When I looked at the roots of trees, I tried to see shapes in them, just people do with clouds."

"I grew up on the shores of Lake Atitlan. My parents were caretakers for a weekend house there. As their oldest son, I... had a lovely childhood but I worked from an early age to help with expenses.

"When I looked at the roots of trees, I tried to see shapes in them, just people do with clouds. My first piece of art was a heron carved from wood. It had a long beak and stood on one leg, and I shaped it little by little from a tree root. I realized I could create a bird with it and, as I carved, it took the form I wanted. Then an uncle taught me some carving techniques and I tried to make every sculpture a bit better.

"When I decided to dedicate myself to this art, I worked with a foreigner. When he saw my ability to make things, he set up a workshop where we could produce and sell my figurines. However, when he left Guatemala, he took all his tools and machinery with him. I had to start my own workshop from zero. One at a time, I bought the things I needed to equip my workshop. Today I can tell you it was difficult but happy, and the proof is that I've been working in wood on my own since 1986. I sell designs that are beautifully handcrafted of fine woods.

"People who know me say I'm a person who loves life, especially sharing my art and experience with others. I enjoy helping members of the community and working so our children will have better opportunities than we had.

"Today I dream of becoming a recognized artist, that people know my art and my inspiration. I'd love it if my children decided to work with me and, for this reason my oldest son is learning to carve wood in his spare time. He's also helping to teach several people from our town so that this tradition won't be lost.

"I think what I like best about my work is how you can make any kind of figure from an ordinary piece of wood. Images from Maya art are the most difficult to do but they're prettier and sell very well.

"Many times I've had to stop doing things and dedicate myself to the workshop when there are orders to fill. I love playing soccer with my brothers, going out with my family and going to church but, because of my work, I can't get away from the workshop very often.

"The people who collaborate with me are also a part of my family. They help me sand and finish the sculptures, but I'm the one who cuts the wood according to the patterns, carves and seals it for the final finishing.

"It's interesting to work in an area that helps keep our culture alive, the culture of our Maya ancestors and all the animals of our land. My carvings are made of mahogany, ebony, granadillo and guachipilin wood. Almost all of them are puzzles and they are all made with special dedication because each one is special to me.

"That's why it's a real pleasure to share my handcrafted art through Novica. I hope when my designs arrive in your home that you can see at a glance all the history, work and appreciation with which they are made."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
