Amazing metalwork on a building side in Tonala (15 feet tall?)
The first time we were in Tonala, we were amazed by a some amazing embossed metalwork we have never seen before in ours lives. We walked into a little store like this, and met this fellow and his wife:

Much to our astonishment…they were working on a piece that looked like this:
Was it a sign?!! We learned that his couple is very popular with all of the missionaries from Guadlajara. They come to them to get their favorite temples embossed in metal!
So…we commissioned them to do several pieces for our store. We simply gave them pictures of artwork that we liked, and they came up with their metal rendition. This was one of our favorites (2 feet by 1 1/2 feet):
Now our biggest hope is that customers in Alaska will love this work…so that we can support this couple for years to come!
