Dia de Los Muertos

I really dig the Day of the Dead aesthetic. It is a perfect amalgam of bright happy colors and death, a kind of morbid Rainbow Brite sugary confection. I've decided my next puppets/projects need to be easy peezy design-wise and more fun than thinkie so I am going to make some Muertos skulls and/or simple hinged skeletons. Nothing fancy in the construction, literally hook and eye type joints. In my tromp through WonderWebLand I found some really beautiful skull sculptures on Day of the Dead Folk Art Gallery. So inspiring!
