Beautiful, bigger than I expected”

This is a lovely hummer; the tail pieces are individual but the wings are thankfully already glued together. Very charming.

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!
