I love these little fish! They are lightweight, carefully painted, and can sit on a shelf or be hung from a tree branch. I hope they make more colors. I would like to send a blue one to my niece. Thank you for your beautiful work.

I do appreciate these artists who create the Oaxacan detail techniques of painting and carving. This is a great example of how that is done. I will look forward to collecting more from these artisans!

These little guys are beautiful and although I bought them for myself, I will probably buy more to give as gifts. They are so bright, colorful and cheerful. I really like how small they are, They will be wonderful additions to my Christmas tree!
