This is a design in wool by Teresa Vila of Colorado.  She donated many incredibly beautiful creations to the auction that was held at the XCUSA specialty and this is one of several that I brought home with me.  What a treasure it is.  Teresa works in several different mediums including pottery, leather, glass and wool.  Teresa owns two standard Xoloitzcuintle and has titled them in companion sports.

…but who would ever think to go to Belgium for a special Xolo celebration of this beautiful holiday?  In the town of Ostend, Belgium you will find a lovely little resto named SASSY’S where the owner has made an altar to honor her Xolo, Fidel.  Special Dia de los Muertos bread, marzipan and decorations appropriate to the event are there for everyone to enjoy……THANK YOU, Saskia for sharing this with us, in memory of Fidel. What a beautiful tribute to a great XOLOITZCUINTLE.

…in Mexico City.  The Mexican artesanias excel in the creative arts.  This alebrija is enormous and it was created by an artist named Gabriel Vargas, who also is a Xolo owner.  The work is entitled The Two Headed Xoloitzcuintle.
