Beautifully decorated Talavera pottery serves as the inspiration for these 31 illustrations, which feature animal motifs rendered in the intricate style of Old World designs. Frogs, geckos, turtles, roosters, parrots, butterflies, and other animals appear against backdrops of flowers, fruits, sunbursts, and other classic Mexican ornaments. Pages are perforated and printed on one side only for easy removal and display. Specially designed for experienced colourists, Festive Mexican Talavera Designs and other Creative Haven adult colouring books offer an escape to a world of inspiration and artistic fulfillment. Each title is also an effective and fun-filled way to relax and reduce stress.
