Description:

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 an El Gato (cat) inspired calaca. The size should be no smaller than 3" and you can use whatever medium you desire, but it CANNOT be a paper calaca. It can be three dimensional like a mini figurine. You can alter an existing doll or toy or skelly to resemble a cat, paint a wooden cut out or even sculpt your own out of clay. The calaca should be able to stand on its own. 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.

what about stuffed one of felt?

Sure...as long as it is in a DOD theme and has the main components of a skeleton. This is not a dotee or softee swap.
