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. FUN STUFF: In this swap you will create a catrina 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 flat calaca. It must be three dimensional like a mini figurine. You can alter an existing doll or skelly to resemble a catrina or sculpt your own out of clay. The calaca should be able to stand or sit 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. |
