We all know that chameleons can change color, but this might be a little extreme. Actually, the lizard is an alebrije, part of a folk art tradition that carves animals from wood and paints them in bright colors and wild designs. This little guy was created and signed by artists Gerardo and Teresa Ojeda from Oaxaca, Mexico.

“Sister-in-law Loves it”

My sister-in-law called to tell me she usually doesnt like gifts picked out for her by others. This is an exception. She loves it. We spent a week together this spring and she bought an owl made by native Americans to put over her kitchen sink display shelving. She has birds and other items includes growing plants and said this is just perfect for that area where all the objects are black and white except the plants.

This is a decorative item made in central America It is hand carved and painted out of wood This was a gift for Sister-in-law Occasion: 'just because' This was a gift for Sister-in-law Occasion: 'just because'
