"Christmas ornaments I couldnt put away"
Nicely made, colorful, and adorable. We couldnt get a Christmas tree this year (the wildfires in California depleted the local stock) so I set them on my desk for the time being - then decided I wanted to keep them there.

"Yet ANOTHER Great Sculpture"
Now have a dozen in house or gifts sculpted by Jesus and Roxanne. Easily my favorite alebreje artists. Have all the coyotes and monkeys so a domestic dog is a great change!
