Great Deal Mexican Folk Art Coloring Book (Dover Coloring Books)
This is a beautifully adapted coloring book of Mexican Folk art from various regions in Mexico: Guerrero, Jalisco, Puebla, Guadalajara, San Antonio de la Isla, Oaxaca, Metepec and Michoacan. There are 30 black and white illustrations adapted from authentic native art.
This book is so beautiful in its black and white illustrations that I am nervous to begin my coloring adventure, but I just purchased a new set of watercolor pencils and I can't wait to try them out. Maybe it's because I love to color, but I think more people should take a moment to remember when they were kids and coloring was just FUN-no work required!
My 4 favorite illustrations are the cover: a skull design of popote (little straws) and papel picado (cut paper), A yarn painting of a Huichol Indian ceremony, Paper-cut made for the Festival of the Dead from Puebla and Seed Spirits from the Otomi village of San Pablito, Puebla.
Stay inside the lines or don't. The 10 color designs on the cover could perhaps inspire the creativity in you or in someone you know.
