Chupavispa

Art Chicks this year in Mexico resulted in this funny little character. Alebrijes are supposed to be fantastical creatures, a mix of animals. What could be more mixed up than a wasp mixed with a chupacabras? Except, this guy is definitely harmless, with only two big goofy teeth! Here you can see him in various states of being made, and the final composition. The most fun was the painting, I just love adding more and more details.
 
I love handmade things both old and new. I'm easily swayed by anything that is hand stitched, painted, or carved. I want to learn how to do ALL of it. Right now I'm focused mostly on making beads, putting together jewelry with those beads, and repujado. Tomorrow, who knows...

I'm curious and creative, always questioning, sometimes talking back, often daydreaming, occasionally getting it right!
