Mexican Yarn painting.- The crafts of Mexico are renowned for bright colors and bold designs, especially the nierika, or sacred yarn paintings, made by the Huichol people. In this project, learn how to do Huichol-inspired yarn paintings, then use the technique to make decorative plaques or to enliven the surfaces of boxes, cards, notebooks, and more.It's been said that every artist dips their paint brush into their own souls. When confronted with the yarn art of the Huicholes (the indigenous community from the state of Nayarit, Mexico,) we are able to see the stories of their past, their people, their culture. I say 'confront' because these textile treasures are so compelling and dramatic. It's an experience just gazing at them. These pieces are captivating and spellbinding
