each filled with its own pattern: zigzags

the flower seller whose wooden crate of fresh blooms is one of the most enduring sights in any Mexican market

This is no ordinary hummingbird

The shell spirals with fiery reds

and the strength found in gentleness

the bird's curved posture evokes a moment of introspective stillness

the wandering balloon seller whose tall bouquet of color can be spotted from blocks away in any plaza or park

giving the entire wing real depth and texture before a single brushstroke is applied

Inspired by the sacred macaws in Paquime culture

with smooth curves and flowing shape

The pig is so graceful and elegant

The two colorful birds among the leaves are so colorful and contrast wonderfully with the textured paper
