I made these aprons as part of Women and Creativity Month at The National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque. Lucha Reyes was the first woman to popularize ranchera music and sing along with the mariachis in Mexico in the 1920’s.
It was so much fun carving the linoleum and seeing Lucha Reyes come to life! After printing the carved image on cloth, I sewed it onto the apron and complete the remaining images in the same way.
These are aprons I created for Women and Creativity month at the Hispanic Cultural Center. They were part of a large apron show that hung outside during the month of March. The black and white one is about Lucha Reyes, the first woman to sing with mariachis in Mexico.
