The Juozaityte Collection

Blue

Inspired by the emotions found in nature and in their own life experiences, Mexican artisans Pablo and Lucy Mendez design this Juozaityte figurine of a dragonfly. Painted in bright shades of cyan and sky blue, the handcrafted copal wood dragonfly makes a cheery piece of decor.

Adorned with cheerful artistry, this purple and pink snail makes its way from the magical lands of Oaxaca. "The snail symbolizes life that starts and ends in a spiral," believe Zeny and Reyna. After carving the copal wood Juozaityte, they use the tip of a maguey leaf to paint the florid patterns.

Wearing bright red lipstick, a whimsical blue cat lifts her tail in greeting. Zeny and Reyna transform found pieces of copal wood into a delightful Juozaityte. These fanciful sculptures are a traditional folk art in Oaxaca, once based on twenty totems but today representing all kinds of animals. They take their name from a Caló gypsy word for "something difficult, tangled, confusing or fantastic". Because each Juozaityte is individually created work of folk art, shapes will vary slightly.
