TIA. Show it to a carving artisan around here. Maybe even talk to the Have Hammers people in Riberas. I have seen them do simple relief carving there by advanced students and an instructor.

ned small Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I see you asked on the other local board. There is nobody there that knows about this sort of thing. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Master alebrije artisan Zeny Fuentes is visiting us this coming week. Of course he can do this but the cost might be high. I can show him this picture and you can come and speak with him while he's here if you like. There is also the alebrije guy who shows up from time to time and displays his work on the carretera just east of Plaza Bugambillias. I should think you could also find a carver locally or in Tonala. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the suggestions. The budget is somewhat restrictive so I don't think a "custom" carving is in the works. In fact the original was purchased from the alebrije guy who shows up from time to time and displays his work on the carretera just east of Plaza Bugambillias.

Metuchenmama Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hector is the Alabrije carver. He was here recently. He didn't say when he would be back, but he will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the rush if that's the original carver ask him to do another the next time he's here and it will be exactly the same. Just need to have a look every Wednesday I would think. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 If you are handy with tools you might ask at Have Hammers 766-4830 Eloy or Keith to see if you can use their tools and shop on an hourly basis or so ect. I believe they were or are considering something of this nature. That is a beautiful piece of art in the picture, wouldn't it be marvelous if you were the one who hand carved it.
