NATIVITIES FOR SALE — ORNAMENTS — HONDURAS CD ANGEL
This angel ornament is made by Maria in Trujillo, Honduras. Maria cuts old compact discs (CDs) into wedges, covers them with metallic foil, and then bakes them in her oven until the CD pieces melt into unique textures. Each angel is finished with wire wings, a clear bead for the angel's head, and a string for hanging. The angel measures 3 inches wide.
Mari (Maria) taught herself to read and write. At the age of 19, she was working on a 2nd or 3rd grade level. Mari went to school, eventually completing 8th grade and then doing a four-year Bible program through her church to be a Christian Education teacher. Maria now has four children (2 girls and 2 boys). Her husband Ale does wooden puzzles, coconut jewelry, and carpentry to support the family when work is not available with a large agricultural company. Maria opened a small corner store in their home that she and Ale built with monies from their craft sales. They also own a few acres of coffee plants on a nearby mountain, so they have a small annual coffee harvest. Mari and Ale would like to live on the mountain with the coffee crops, but there is no education available for their kids up there.
Please note that the color of each angel is unique, so the photo is only an example.
