Mexican artist hand cut traditional white plastic bunting mostly used for weddings. 10 flags on a 5m string. Mixed designs. Each flag measures 35x22cm A traditional Mexican craft and artisan ware.

The flags vary we get in depending which studio they are all very pretty.

These flags are cut by artists by hand in the traditional method, a bundle at a time. Paper cutting dates back to pre-Spanish time in Mexico where mulberry bark, ficus paper was once cut and worked using awesome obsidian blades. This was really taken up when china pieces arrived in the the trader Black Ships (named for their dreadful cargo of slaves) arrived in Mexico and the china pieces were wrapped in tissue.

As the Mexican indigenous were no longer allowed to write they found the finer tissue more useful for their cut paper works likely inspired by Spanish lace. Various forms of paper making have spread throughout the Pacific from the Americas including to the Pacific isles, tapa cloth. It is highly likely China learnt paper making from trade with the Aztecs and developed it further, same with lacquer wares (the beetle juice used for traditional lacquer comes from a Central American native beetle).

Difficult to say whether the Aboriginal people of Australia developed bark painting separately, but most likely did so. Holy Kitsch! thinks the game of scissors paper rock might have developed through Mexico's trade with Spain as they always had market places in Central America and they would have exchanged their stone blades to metal.

Marriage of Figaro Bronx Opera wait for intro to finish its in English! Hmm have always questioned whether Mozart really wrote that music solo zero assistance his father was a composer. Whether in opera or symphony music the conversations and feelings sound too sophisticated for a child to grasp even when being absurd!

Like many children taught early in life Mozart the wunderkind could grasp and play a musical instrument very well. It suits far too many vested interests and doting parents to believe in absolute perfection and is unfair to kids and parents. After all Mozart's father had to make a living too!
