These Hand-made wooden figurines, were made by a local family just outside of Ubud, Bali.
Ubud is constantly referred to as “The Heart of Art,” and is considered by most to be the heart and soul of Bali. Plus, it boasts truly amazing culinary delights from around the world, culture in the form of traditional dance, plays, art, local temples and architecture. It’s full of amazing and inexpensive places to stay and as far as I’mconcerned, along with millions of others, it’s THE place to go in Bali
In addition to rolling foothills and haunting rice paddies, the entire area is surrounded by small villages which can easily be explored by motorcycle. Each village and the families within are specialists in their respective arts. Stop off for a visit with any of the local stone and wood carvers, jewelry makers, mosaic tile and mirror artists, clothing designers or painters. They will be happy to greet you and show you around their shop or gallery. The mainstream art scene boasts loads of galleries and museums and most will be happy to work on a custom order and will make precisely what you ask for.
