“Brings a smile to my face!”

I love this Zapotec Coyote! He is colorful and cheerful. The painting on this sculpture is intricate and fascinating. The card explained that these designs refer to the sun, water, and life! This sculpture now has a place on my desk, and it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it! I want to thank the artists-they created not only beautiful art, but joy as well!

“Gift for my husband”

I bought this sweet, little "blue coyote" for my husband when he named his business "Blue Coyote Software, LLC." He was so thrilled and keeps it prominently displayed in his office. It was a real hit!

“Stunning addition to collection”

I have been looking for unique carved and painted dogs/coyotes to add to my collection. This pup is exquisite, beautifully painted and symbolic. It was packaged so that no harm could come to this piece of art--so firmly wrapped and protected that it took me a while to get him out! So happy I found this.

“Love my new Zeny and Reyna hummingbird!”

This will be a Christmas gift for me -- a gift from my cat (my cats have always known exactly what I want). Zenys and Reynas pieces are incredible - Exquisite painted details. I have purchased many for myself and many to give as gifts.
