Meet the Artist

Elizabeth Salas

I am a mother of four children, and they are the inspiration for this work and the strength I have to continue creating.

"My name is Elizabeth Salas, and I am a craftswoman from Costa Rica with over 20 years of experience. I started this... beautiful art after the birth of my third child, and with my husband, we decided to create furniture, accessories, and home décor. It was at that moment that I noticed our talent for making these kinds of objects and painting them with very fine strokes that are pleasing to the eye. All the designs are our own, which we have perfected over the years.

"Our designs are based on the nature of my country, which is a great way to emphasize the importance of environmental conservation. To create each piece, we use special machinery for furniture and wood. We purchase materials from suppliers, define the design to be made, then cut the wood, assemble the pieces, proceed with sanding the pieces, and then I paint each piece by hand, which are my unique designs. For all our crafts, we use recycled wood, obtaining the remaining materials from suppliers, stores, and hardware shops.

"Since I was a child, I have grown up with the mindset of being a determined, entrepreneurial, and creative woman, always looking for new ideas to innovate our art. I work in my workshop alongside my husband. We have managed to sustain ourselves and move forward with this business despite challenges.

"I am a mother of four children, and they are the inspiration for this work and the strength I have to continue creating. Thanks to our work, we have managed to see them graduate from university. I have sold my products at fairs in different parts of the country, and I can say that my craftsmanship is highly valued and appreciated by the people who purchase them.

"I greatly hope that my business continues to grow and that I can make a name for myself in different parts of the world. This is part of the goals I have set for myself."

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

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

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.
