Love STRAW MARQUETRY

Amazing painting with straw

Kind of a lost art?

I bought this “straw painting at a Widow at Windsor Antiques French Flea Market in Springfield, Illinois.

It is also known as Straw Marquetry, Popotillo and Straw Mosaic.

I hope to find an artist or two in Guadalajara area in Tlaquepaque and Tonala, maybe in Puerto Vallarta??

Saw this in Ajijic, looks like the Straw Marquetry I have??
