Ceramic Mug with Painting Print of Maria Dolls, "Rag Dolls"
Shipping Timeframe: 7 to 17 business days. Delivery Estimate
With an inspiration of making art accessible to all, Mexican artist Alejandra Aceves has one of her signed original paintings printed on this ceramic mug. The nostalgic and colorful painting depicts two traditional Mexican Maria dolls.
The charming doll originated in Mexico City when many Otomi and Mazahua people migrated to the capital in the 1970s. Due to their unique traditional clothing, the women became known as "Marias." An educational program was established for them and artist Diego Rivera's daughter, Guadalupe Rivera Marin, encouraged crafting these popular rag dolls as a way to generate income in the 1980s. Artisan women took the idea home to their Mazahua and Otomi towns and the dolls became popular throughout Mexico and abroad.

"I couldnt resist a face mask with a dog on it."





It is a little harder to breath because it is thicker than my other face masks.

"Incredibly soft and breathable!"





This is the only mask I ve worn so far that doesn t feel like it s smothering me; as seen in the pictures, the fabric points outwards in the nose area, which gives you plenty of freedom to talk, breathe, etc.. I don t even feel the metal strip inside because of how comfortable and natural the contour of the mask is. The material is also very soft and the kitty design makes people of all ages smile!

"great idea"





This was a gift for my sister. We love the adult coloring books, but what to do with the completed project? Postcards are an excellent idea. She says they are beautiful!
