FANTASTIC HUMMINGBIRD WITH CACTUSOAXACA WOOD CARVINGMEXICAN FOLK ART AT ITS FINESTBY THE HIGHLY TALENTED ARTISTS OF THE TRIBUS MIXES
WONDERFUL WORK IN A HAND CARVED PIECE! QUALITY AND DETAILED CARVING WITH FINE PAINTING! WHIMSY AND JOY WITH A GREAT SENSE OF MOTION! TEXTURAL AND VISUAL APPEAL!Tribus Mixes are famous for their unique and intricate contributions to the world of woodcarvings. They began as a home and school where teenage children were invited to participate in learning the arts of wood carving and painting. Proceeds from the sale of their artwork are used to provide scholarships for these same children to attend school and receive an education that would be impossible for them to obtain in their village. Neftali and Noe Martinez are brothers from the Tribus Mixes and ran this wonderful organization together until Noe sadly passed away a few years ago. Their goal is to provide a future for the children of their tribe, teaching them art forms and educating them to give them opportunities in life. Opportunities they themselves say they never had. What a wonderful cause to support!
This fine woodcarving is of a biznaga cactus, complete with a visiting hummingbird perched on one of three flowers. The flowers and hummingbird are detachable for safe shipping, every petal comes out of the flower stem, and all the feathers and wings separate from the hummingbird\'s body. Re assembly will be necessary. Once reassembled they can always be glued into place if desired, but the removable pieces make this much less fragile to ship. The body of the cactus itself features swirling ridges that are carved in by hand by the artist! A fine example of the whimsy, creativity and artwork that is put into each woodcarving done by the Tribus Mixes. The carving is signed by the artist.
*the pictures show the wrong wing feathers in the fourth down position on each side. They are not the blue and unpainted one shown. They are actually white and pink. All of the other wing feathers and tail feathers are correctly shown.
