This delightful piece combines two of Mexico’s most cherished crafts — Tenango embroidery from Hidalgo and handmade paper art from Puebla.
At the center, a vibrant hand-embroidered armadillo comes to life in joyful rainbow hues, surrounded by flowers and leaves that celebrate nature’s abundance. The embroidery, stitched with traditional Otomí techniques, is mounted on richly textured handmade paper, embossed with spirals and delicately perforated edges reminiscent of papel picado.
The result is a perfect union of texture and color — soft cotton threads meeting the organic surface of amate-style paper — making each piece a unique expression of Mexican artistry and heritage.
