Magical Alebrijes Cat Artichoke Garden

This is a Mexican Alebrijes Cat thinking about which artichoke he will have for his dinner. I think he is very beautiful. In Mexico, sculptors and craftsmen make paper sculptures they assemble with paper and wheat paste. The form is shaped and modified. When it is completely dried it becomes pretty sturdy. Then the sculpture is intricately painted with exotic and intense colors. This is my image of what I would love to see as a complete Alebrijes sculpture.

Here he is on one of my products
