traditional sculpture

Frida Kahlo's legacy inspires a gorgeous sculpture honoring those resilient and courageous spirits. Mexico's Orozco Family draws inspiration from traditional themes associated with the Day of the Dead and the classic hacienda vibe to create this recycled cardboard sculpture depicting Frida's skull wearing a magenta crown of hearts and flowers, all painted by hand.

Inspired by the mask customs and traditions of many cultures around the world, Thai artisan Somyot Sawasdee creates the original design of this mask adorned with intricate tribal markings. He recycles paper with cement and finishes the wall mask with green and gold paint, creating the illusion of an aged bronze piece. Features a hook on the back.

"Feeling proud of my Mexican roots and wishing to raise consciousness regarding Mexico's beautiful endemic animals in danger of extinction, I designed this series of 10 coloring postcards. They are inspired by the multicolored alebrije sculptures of Oaxaca representing magical and fantastical creatures with wings and antennae," explains Alejandra Aceves. This set of postcards includes: a grey wolf, a West Indian manatee, an axolotl fish (Mexican salamander), a red macaw, an armadillo, a tapir, a loggerhead turtle, a pronghorn, a jaguar, and a California Gulf porpoise.

The set of 10 postcards arrives in an acrylic box with information about Aceves' project. Inspired by the illness she lives with, she realized that the symptoms diminished when she concentrated on drawing. Her wish is for others to enjoy being able to relax while coloring her postcards.
