I am really drawn to this folk art Mary. Though I love all the traditional, classical art, I am longing to get my creative juices flowing on some other forms--some maybe even abstract.

From Mexico? I'm going to Zacatecas right after Christmas. Maybe I'll find some "unsold Virgins" still for sale. (I know, that sounds just wrong, but you know what I mean!)

A Virgin a Day: Day Seven

"Our Lady of the Natural and Unnatural World" - created on Polyvore.com/merimagic I call her  "Our Lady of the Natural and Unnatural World." She is omnipresent, all-seeing, all-knowing.

Though many girls were poorly educated in that era, Daniel Anthony was an ardent supporter of quality education for both boys and girls, so the four girls in the family were as well-educated as their brothers.
