super-cute, neatly detailed

exactly as pictured: pleased to see that each is painted with great accuracy by the artist, even though they probably turned out a lot of them during the holiday season.

These little guys are beautiful and although I bought them for myself, I will probably buy more to give as gifts. They are so bright, colorful and cheerful. I really like how small they are, They will be wonderful additions to my Christmas tree!

What an adorable kitty!

This little alebrije sculpture is adorable and just the right touch in my eating area. I particularly love the curved tail, which was carefully packaged separately to avoid breakage. This gato makes me smile every time I see it. Gracias, Jesus y Roxana!
