Este maravilloso quetzal alebrijes es la creación original de los mexicanos Gerardo y Teresa Ojeda. Tallan a mano el pájaro y sus largas plumas en madera de copal y las pintan con meticuloso detalle. La forma de arte popular oaxaqueño se remonta a la década de 1930. Un artista mexicano llamado Pedro Linares tuvo sueños mientras estaba enfermo, en los que criaturas fantásticas corrían hacia él gritando la palabra sin sentido "¡alebrije! ¡alebrije!". Cuando despertó de su sueño febril, se vio obligado a recrear las criaturas inusuales que había visto en su sueño.

My sister-in-law called to tell me she usually doesnt like gifts picked out for her by others. This is an exception. She loves it. We spent a week together this spring and she bought an owl made by native Americans to put over her kitchen sink display shelving. She has birds and other items includes growing plants and said this is just perfect for that area where all the objects are black and white except the plants.

I am becoming addicted to alebrije artwork. This colorful kitty has joined a growing herd of alebrije critters roaming my bookcases.
