My
newest Matryoshka illustration is inspired by the Mexican Ballet Folklorico, the Jalisico dress traditionally associated with Mariachi dancers, adorned with brightly colored ribbons. While doing research for my
Mexican Matryoshka illustration I found three different regional dresses I was very inspired by and I plan on drawing the other two as well. The other two regions are the Yucatan and Juchitan (in Oaxaca). Often when researching a culture I find many different groups and styles of dress. It can be quite hard to choose which one to draw. I usually try to draw the one most often associated with a particular country, as is this Mexican Ballet Folklorica. But this time I thought why draw only one? So if ever I draw a Matryoshka and you are interested in a different region please just let me know. The more the merrier! :)

So cute! I've been hoping you would do this one! I'm going to need to get one for my mom! :)
Thank you Lizette! I look forward to filling your order. :D
I am mildly obsessed with Mexican culture. All the colors and traditions are so fascinating to me. This is one of my favorite Matryoshkas yet, and that's saying a lot because I'm one of your biggest fans!
Wow, thank you Holly! You are so sweet. :)
AHHHHHHHHHH! I am so happy right now! It looks beautiful! And it makes it even better that you chose this region since I was born in Jalisco myself! :)
Yay! I'm happy too Amelie, so glad you like her! :)
She is a perfect addition! She truly looks like a celebration!
Thank you Garnet! Yep, that is what I attempt to do, celebrate the culture. :)
