Mexican China Poblana Matryoshka

Hello! Introducing my latest Matryoshka a China Poblana from Mexico. There are so many beautiful cultures in Mexico and so far I've drawn four of them!  Prints of various sizes and a coloring sheet PDF downloadable file are now available in my Etsy shop. Postcards, notecards, postage stamps and tote bags are available in my zazzle shop.

Above are my earlier Mexican cultures; a Yucatan, a dancer (Jalisco Folklorico), and a Tehuana.

I have updated my Suggestions List on the right hand column of my blog. If you have made a suggestion and are waiting for me to get to it please check the list and make sure I have included it. If you don't see it please let me know. Also, if you have photos or links to examples showing the type of dress you would like me to depict in your culture suggestion, they are always helpful and appreciated!

Mexican Matryoshka Sisters

My Mexican Matryoshka Girls: Yucatan, Jalisico Dancer, and Tehuana

As I mentioned in my last post when I was doing research for the much suggested Mexican Matryoshka, I was so inspired by the many regions that feature such beautiful, traditional dress that I decided to illustrate three! So here are my Mexican sister Matryoshka! Pictured above, the middle one is my Jalisico Mexican Dancer that I introduced you to in my last post. The girl on the left is from the Yucatan where the dresses are white with beautifully embroidered flowers. The girl on the right is wearing a black Tehuana dress from Oaxaca, again with embroidered flowers. The Mexican culture is so rich, I hope you like these Matryoshka, they are all now available in my shop. :)

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! :)
