Alebrije Turtle




This is an alebrije turtle. Alebrijes are brightly-colored Mexican folk art sculptures. This piece has many vibrant colors. For the smaller designs, I used a pencil to paint on the small details. This project took about a week to complete. The piece can be used as a decorative item.
