The winter solstice was a celebrations of Huitzilopochtli the hummingbird of the south. Hummingbirds being the only bird to be able to move and hover in any direction, an attribute of a good warrior. END

Skulls for me are not only for día de los muertos. To be at peace with death meant to be at peace with life. Just like in nature things have a season. Winter is the season of shedding old and making room for new growth. 1/

I remember I used to tell my dad to let things go, the opinion of others and even the opinions you have about yourself. Cuetlaxochitl was the flower that represents the warriors. 2/

My creativity takes different paths sometimes.

Be careful of the seeds you plant in your mind. Let go of habits and thoughts that were never yours to keep for long.

Muñecas Lele. México ragdolls. I read that they were intended as a protection against evil for children. They have become an artisanal symbol of the indigenous women of México.

I'm working on a custom coloring book. I'm still trying to finish Mostly Mexican.

Happy Monday!

I've updated my Owls page by framing my owls with an even bigger owl. So far, I love it.

Some believe that owls were a bad omen, signaling death, or witches.

I've always heard the story of the eagle and the snake on the Mexican flag, but the more I look up references. I find in stone a different symbol.

Just another rabbit hole I fall into while working on this coloring book 😅

Working on the pages of my Mostly Mexican coloring book.
The feathered serpents known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztec, Kukulkan to the Mayans.
If you've ever seen a Quetzal bird, you could see why it looks like a feathered serpent. So beautiful and majestic.

A @Nature paper describes a new biodegradable seed carrier design inspired by the self-drilling behaviour of Erodium seeds. The seed carrier has a higher implantation success rate than that of Erodium seeds. https://t.co/DNapRyZ2WS

I've been taking inventory on all the art I've created. Most of it will never be seen. Sometimes, I come back to those ideas and pieces. This is one of those.

I'm posting now before it receeds into the void of the photo gallery.

Let my mind wander. Started as a doodle, but I'm really loving the shapes now.

Mandala made with procreate. Flowers, skulls, and cacti, my favorite.
