A calaca( a colloquial Mexican Spanish name for skeleton) is a figure of a skeleton (usually human) commonly used for decoration during the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. They are usually dressed to portray an event or occupation. Here's a new twist to the calaca series.... FUN STUFF: In this swap you will create a mariposa (butterfly) inspired calaca. The size should be no smaller than 3" and you can use whatever medium you desire, but it CANNOT be a paper or dotee calaca. It can be three dimensional like a mini figurine. You can alter an existing doll or toy or skelly to resemble a butterfly, paint a wooden cut out or even sculpt your own out of clay. The calaca should be able to stand on its own or include a way to hang it for display. You're only limited by your own imagination! NOT SO FUN STUFF: Create something you would love to keep for yourself and display. Send on time and rate fairly please. | |
