Cultural Sharing: Alebrijes from Mexico

Do you want to make an alebrije? Alebrijes are decorative animal-like fantasy figures from Mexico. Inspired by a dream of Pedro Linares - who made traditional piñatas, dolls and carnival masks, among other things - the first alebrijes were originally made from paper mache. Let your imagination run wild and make decorative figures with funny shapes, bright colors, wings, teeth, horns and tails, everything that occurs in your dreams and ideas.
