Folk Art Spotlight - Paper Mache by Studio Mundo Pequeno
November 4, 2013
Paper Mache Folk Art is an exquisite way to add color and beauty to any space in your Mexican-themed home. Paper mache studio, Mundo Pequeno, creates paper mache artwork which is perfect for decorating your hacienda.
The studio strives to create richly colored, vibrant and unique artwork of superior quality. Mundo Pequeno's tropical birds, fish, and our new Blue Moon home accents will cheer up even the darkest spaces of your home. Each piece of paper mache artwork is made in Mexico of 100% recycled newspaper.
As a young married couple, Luis and Rosa Jimenez had a vision. They wanted to create richly colored, vibrant and unique artwork of superior quality. Their dream came to fruition three years ago when they opened their retail shop in the Mexican state of Jalisco. La Fuente Imports in cooperation with Master Artisans of Mexico are proud to present the newest addition to our folk art collection. We're sure you'll enjoy the lively array of hand crafted paper mache figurines, the likes of which are ideal for decorating the walls of your home with a remarkable splash of South-of-the-Border sunshine.
While Rosa tends their small retail shop on the main street of their Mexican village, Luis is busy creating new designs and overseeing production in their 5-person factory. Each piece of unique and original artwork is hand formed: no machines are used in the production. No two pieces are exactly alike, as they are all hand painted, then signed by the artisan who created them. You can't call your folk art collection complete until you claim one of these creations for your own!
Paper mache art is not only perfect for decorating your home with; it's also a stunning birthday, anniversary, Christmas or wedding gift for those that love vibrancy in their lives.
