Carmen Lomas Garza honors her Mexican heritage through the traditional folk art of painting and paper cutouts. Photographs of her art show the reader that family life and culture are important to her. Through this how-to book, Lomas is passing on these traditions to the next generation. She explains the art of picado (cut paper projects) in an easy to understand format in English and Spanish. Children ages 9 and up, as well as adults, will enjoy creating these beautiful, tissue paper designs which include banners, tiles, and fans.
