Rainy Days - paint, glitter & fun
These cold, slow, gray winter days are perfect to get caught up on your artwork! Remember how Day of the Dead snuck up on you right after school started and you had all those ideas to make sugar skulls, sew a little and bake some cupcakes decorated in brightly colored skulls?
Seize the day as the snowy rainy days are upon us. I've noticed how our current orders are filled with fabric, sugar skull mold kits and craft supplies. When I call my mother each night, she always says, "what are these people doing with all the sugar skulls in JANUARY?" And I tell her that Day of the Dead requires year round preparations. People just like doing art with all the colors, glitter & colored tin foils and making skulls of all kinds. Many are participating in craft shows or school fund-raisers, giving sugar skull gifts is becoming a tradition and looked forward to all year long. It's not like making jack-o'-lanterns in January.
Our craft supply page is constantly growing, but I'm very excited about the new blank BIG papier mache skulls. We hope that some of you share photos of your completed projects. One customer said that she painted away on the big skull for a week, thought it was done, then kept adding to it for another 2 weeks. She had never had such fun and it looked like it belonged in a SoHo art gallery when she finished.
THANK YOU to all those who have been adding photos to the sugar skull FaceBook fan's page. We love seeing your work, tattoos, cakes & Day of the Dead wedding photos. Please sign up for our newsletter down in the right corner of any page, so you'll get photos of new products and be invited to occasional sales of our products.
Enjoy the day and remember to MAKE ART!
