home decor accessory

The alebrije art style adds a vibrant aura to this cute rhino crafted by Alejandro and Rocio Jimenez from Mexico. Using a palette of aquamarine and red hues, this copal wood figurine is the ideal accessory for whimsical home decor, as its hand-painted geometric design allows for a vivacious ambiance.

A precious addition to your home decor collection, this exquisite Mexican alebrije figurine crafted in the shape of a mystic coyote will surely add a touch of energy and flair to any space. Carved with great care from copal wood, this sublime accessory is embellished with elabourate motifs meticulously hand-painted by the skilled artisans Alejandro and Rocio Jimenez, who use refreshing cyan, purple and warm hues.

No book can blend in when adorned with this bright pink flamingo bookmark hand-painted by artisans Pablo and Lucy Mendez of Oaxaca, Mexico. The flamingo features a lively multicolour design that represents truly Mexican artistic motifs while remaining sturdy thanks to its solid hard-carved copal wood construction. Pablo and Lucy want to preserve the wonderful creative traditions they have inherited from the previous generation by training their children and community in the techniques involved in their unique style of expression.

Just as an owl says 'who', this bookmark instinctively says 'read', but in a fun and colourful way. Mexican artisans Pablo and Lucy Mendez create the bookmark with this purpose, hand-carving copal wood and painting the owl in their country's prized alebrije motif, with swirls, dots and vivid colours contributing to the owl's unique identity. Pablo and Lucy dream of their artistic creations finding homes across the globe where people can experience a piece of Oaxaca's heritage.

"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.
