Hand Crafted Copal Wood Monkey Alebrije from Mexico, "Rainbow Monkey"
Claudio Ojeda brings a curious monkey to life in alebrije form. He carves it from copal wood and hand-paints it with a kaleidoscope of geometric patterns in teal, purple, saffron yellow, melon pink. The tail is removable for safe and easy shipping.
The Mexican artisan learned to craft alebrijes as a young child from his mother. His work still embodies her motto - bring the alebrijes to life by painting them with love and care.

"Monkeying around!"
This is such a winsome figure! Everything about it makes me happy and I sort of wish she were alive so I could play with her (Rainbow!) I put him on the back of a larger, scampering monkey light, curated by Ruth Arfel. I could not be happier. I love it.

"Very sweet Magenta Owl!"
I bought this to turn into an ornament for my Holiday tree...I didnt get it on the tree in 2022 -- so this will be a beautiful new treasure to add for Christmas this year. I have a clay bead from Mali that I will paint to coordinate. Claudios work never disappoints. I have made several purchases.

"Hoooooooowl!"
This reminds me of my three dogs and how they used to get all energetic and demand to go out in the yard as the night shone down on us. Precious, treasured memories.

"Repeat buyer"
I bought these ornaments several years in a row, in different colors. They are great to use in small gift bags for my co-workers.
