Travel the desert Southwest and the sun turns up everywhere you look: painted over adobe doorways, punched into tin lanterns at the mercado, glazed onto big clay garden pots. It has earned the spot. Out there the sun runs the whole day, and once it goes down the sky fills with more stars than most people have ever seen. The Sun Circle gathers all of it into one design: a sun with flickering, flame-shaped rays, a sly-smiling crescent moon curled inside it, and three stars scattered across the open center. Each circle is worked out of metal by hand, with a thin outer hoop tying the ray tips together. The three candy finishes lay glossy, see-through color over swirl-ground metal, so the grind marks shimmer as you walk past: Candy Blue, deep as the sky after sundown; Candy Orange, a fiery red-orange like a mesa at sunset; and Candy Yellow, the gold of high noon. Hammered Black trades the shine for a dark, finely textured silhouette. Hang it with small nails, double-sided tape, velcro, or magnets. It brings desert warmth to a sunroom, a casita or extra bedroom, a kitchen trimmed in Saltillo tile, a desert-modern home office, a ranch-style living room, or a child's room. Pick the color that suits the space. A sunny present for a housewarming, a new homeowner, or anyone who chases sunshine.
