Fanciful Cat Handmade Papier Mache Cat Alebrije

Marina Lozano

(12)

Working in papier mache, Marina Lozano in Mexico creates this fanciful alebrije sculpture. The winged cat is carefully hand painted with a dizzying array of motifs in myriad colours.

The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930's in Mexico City. A man named Pedro Linares was taken ill, and in his fevered dreams he saw a strange land populated with curious creatures--a donkey with wings, a rooster with bull's horns, and a lion with the head of a dog. The beasts all ran at him, shouting the nonsense word, "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream in papier mache. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache.

Green Rooster Handcrafted Whimsical Green Rooster Ceramic Decorative Plate

Maria Isabel Cruz

(107)

A colorful green and pink rooster on a lavender and orange background gazes out from this whimsical handcrafted decorative ceramic plate. Designed by Mexican artisan Maria Isabel Cruz, the plate is made using the centuries-old dry rope technique, in which a wax mixture made of magnesium oxide and fat are applied to the outlines of the image or motif prior to glazing. The wax mixture creates a barrier that keeps the different fill colors in the design separate during firing, before burning off to reveal the blackened ceramic beneath. The plate can be hung on a wall for display via the nylon cord on the back.
