A Guide to the Best of Southern California : HANDMADE : The Missions
- Share via
INSPIRED BY English renditions of old buildings, Roberto Eduardo chose missions as his subject because “they are the only thing in the state of California of antiquity. I don’t do them cutesy with windows and lights,” he says of his miniature California missions. Each of the seven-inch-tall missions is hand-cast and -painted and retails for $100 for a production model, $225 for a signed, limited-edition model. Roberto Eduardo’s missions are sold at Lawry’s Gift Shop, Lawry’s California Center, 570 West Avenue 26, Los Angeles, (213) 224-6800; or directly from R.S. Sebastian Studios Ltd., 2666 Chestnut Ave., Long Beach, (213) 427-8824.
