Book Synopsis Coloring Metal Sculptures: The Magical Works of Ricardo Breceda by : Diana Lindsay
Download or read book Coloring Metal Sculptures: The Magical Works of Ricardo Breceda written by Diana Lindsay and published by Sunbelt Publications. This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something magical about Ricardo Breceda's metal sculptures. Perhaps because they evolved from his little daughter's request for her father to build a dinosaur for her. Not many fathers would acquiesce to such a request. But his little girl was his princess and he aimed to please. He built the dinosaur and went on to build many more dinosaurs, horses, and elephants.His small menagerie caught the attention of millionaire Dennis Avery who commissioned Breceda to build 131 different metal sculptures scattered on his property in Borrego Valley with the most dramatic creature being a fantasy giant dragon that dives under the road and has a rattlesnake tail. The Borrego Valley sculptures have become a major attraction for Borrego Springs. Today, Ricardo's sculptures can be found scattered about southern California in such places as Twentynine Palms at the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, Cabazon and the Palm Springs area, La Quinta, Norco, Temecula, Aguanga, Ocotillo Wells, Idyllwild, and even Jacumba. Now you can add your own magical touch to stagecoaches, Pleistocene animals, historical characters, dinosaurs, bighorn sheep, snakes, monkeys, and various other assorted animals.

Book Synopsis Coloring Plants Used by Desert Indians by : Diana Lindsay
Download or read book Coloring Plants Used by Desert Indians written by Diana Lindsay and published by Sunbelt Publications. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a period of thousands of years, Native Americans experimented and learned how to use plants to provide virtually everything they needed to survive. Their environment became the local grocery store, drug store, hardware store, and department store to provide needed food, medicine, tools, and materials to make clothing, kitchen tools, hunting equipment, regalia, toys, and adornments. Desert Indians are particularly blessed with an environment that provided the greatest diversity of plants that could be processed for a variety of uses. This book has 40 key plants that desert Indians primarily living in the Sonora Desert of Southern California, Baja California (Mexico), and Arizona have used for centuries. Many of the same or similar species are found in the Mojave Desert of Southern California and parts of Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, and also the Great Basin Desert of California, Nevada, and parts of Utah, Oregon, and Idaho. Use of the plants by the various bands is similar although the language and cultural differences among these people are very diverse. The commonality for all is the continuing importance of key plants to provide necessities of everyday life. The Color and Learn series will help you learn about these plants as you apply your creative art strokes to bring the plants to life.

Book Synopsis California Indian Basketry by : Wayne A. Thompson
Download or read book California Indian Basketry written by Wayne A. Thompson and published by Sunbelt Publications. This book was released on 2021 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated photographic overview captures the beauty and artistry of the remarkable world-class, Native American Indian baskets of California, circa 1895 to 1940, known as the Florescence or Flowering. It is a tribute to these artisans and includes biographical snapshots of weavers and portraits of their masterpiece California Indian baskets, which today exist in museums and private collections throughout the United States. Collecting highly complex and artistic Native American baskets became a successful tourist business in the late 19th and early 20th century -- tourism in the United States exploded as a result of the expansion of the railway system to hitherto relatively inaccessible locations. This new business benefitted both collectors of this art form and the weavers who created them. The transition from woven baskets used for utilitarian use to more durable and less expensive metal cookware and storage vessels allowed weavers the time needed to innovate and create baskets specifically catering to tourist interests. During this period of Florescence, some of the world's most intricate, beautiful, and artistic baskets were woven, particularly by highly-talented weavers representing several Native American tribes located throughout California.
