Artisan Information

Doña Jerónima Juárez was born in the small village of San Pedro Las Huertas, near Antigua, Guatemala. She stopped attending school after the third grade in order to supplement her family's income by helping her mother sell vegetables in the marketplace.

Doña Jerónima's mother taught her to make worry dolls, a traditional craft in Guatemala. She recalls, "I was trying for 2 months to make the worry dolls; I made one but was not good enough then I undid the dolls and tried again and again and again lots of times."

Her perseverance paid off. Eleven years ago, she was able to found a small workshop, "Artesanias Multicolor," in the Colonial City of La Antigua Guatemala. She is able to employ fifteen artisans in the production of traditional and not-so-traditional handicrafts, including the "Worry Cats," a design she developed exclusively for the Greater Good Network.

With their livelihood no longer tied solely to the agricultural harvest, Doña Jerónima, her mother, and her three daughters continue to turn their traditional crafting skills towards the creation of new and unique designs.

Beautiful jewel-toned hummingbird ornaments

The workmanship on these ornaments (I bought 4 different colors) is wonderful. The care that the crafters took with the details of color and finish is amazing. They arrived in small individual pouches in case you wanted to give them as Christmas or hostess gifts. They remind me of the birds you see in exotic lands--almost like flying jewelry.
They are a bit smaller than I expected, having forgotten that the slim bill of a hummingbird is long relative to its body. That they are small makes the paint details all the more impressive.
As usual gifts purchased through Greater Goods' suite of stores are unique, well-made, and provide food for 35 shelter animals each. It's a way to give and get at the same time.
