Some images that my eyeballs are devouring right now, from the book Folk Treasures of Mexico: The Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection, by Marion Oettinger, Jr. The vibrant, bold colors, the humor and raw strength of the figures... all strike a deep chord in me...

Thank you for sharing these, Martha!
All of the pics look so interesting (the blue devil looks kind of scary and cool at the same time!).
I'm sure these images will get your creative juices flowing.
