At the Flower Market is a fabric collage. Likewise the women and the flowers are cut from one piece of fabric. Then they are sewn on to another piece of fabric to create the scene. I added cactus,the mats and borders with decorative threads.

Above all,pieces of antique huipil inspired me to create this piece. In addition,I appliqued the iguana onto an actual bandana. Also bright decorative rickrack and decorative ribbons adorn. At the same time, tatting was popular in the United States, it was as well in Mexico. Therefore,I included two pink tatted flowers along with an artist made lace flower.

First of all, in Mexican Fireworks, I imagined the antique tatted flowers as spinning fireworks on a stick. In addition,gold hearts, ribbons and decorative threads go with the cornlike background fabric.
