Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - With farm-to-table produce, artisan decor, organic coffee, hand-rolled cigars, fashions and accessories, live music, international fare, yoga, and on-site massage and chiropractic sessions - there's so much to enjoy at Vallarta's favorite weekend attraction - the Old Town Farmers Market-Tianguis Cultural!

Join us this Saturday for over 90 stalls of "make it, bake it, grow it" goodies. While here, be sure to check out the one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art offered by Karen Mical Designs.

Meet Karen Mical Design

Made from polymer clay, Karen Mical Design's beads are turned into stunning necklaces, earrings, bracelets, barrettes and rings.

Owners, Karen and David Mical, were artists for many years, working in watercolors, stained glass, and leather work. They found a passion in polymer clay, enjoying the various techniques with which to play and experiment. Now that they're retired, living their dream in beautiful Vallarta for the past three years, the Mical's enjoy the relaxing lifestyle of "sitting on our terrace, making beads."

"We take the raw clay, mix our colors for each series, then make canes and sheets of clay with different techniques to make the beads," explains Karen Mical. "The finished beads are baked at low temperatures, and then polished on a buffing wheel. The beads are assembled into jewelry, and once baked, they are very durable and lightweight."

In their third season at the market, the Mical's believe they are very fortunate to be doing what they love. They create new pieces every week, wowing customers who love the color combinations, design variety, and comfortable fit of every original piece.

"We have so much fun meeting new people from all over the world," says Mical. "Our friends always stop by to say 'hello,' and now you can too! Stop by to visit us this Saturday and pick out your favorite one-of-a-kind piece!"
