Celebrando el Dia de Los Muertos… honor your ancestors and family my friends...
anyone collecting Hojalata? these are traditional Mexican folks arts, where they use some scraps tin sheet, usually taken from some tin can foods that is reused into some works of arts… traditionally they represent some decorations with the shape of hearth and must include some kind of mirror or frame, to some mode modern and events based characters like that skeleton Mariachi band and mermaid, to the most common yet amazing spirit animals…
how I love the beautiful art works put into each one of em…
As Halloween approaches, I’ve been seeing many very talented makeup artists recreate the face of the bride in Tim Burton’s “The Corpse Bride.” I thought this would be a good oppertunity to make some art and remind one and all that the “The Corpe Bride” (known in some tellings as “The Finger” or “The Demon in the Tree”) is a beloved Jewish folktale. Folklorist Howard Schwartz traces the orgins of “The Finger” to 16th century Levant. Aftrer hundreds of years of retelling, the story, like all folktales, has undergone many iterations and also became highly informed by the violence of life in the Pale of Settlement (specifically towards women and young brides).

NIEDŹWIEDŹ ✷ THE BEAR ✷ (Ursus arctos)
✷
"Jak mawiano niedźwiedzie mają duszę, a duch drapieżnika mści się na swoim zabójcy, np. prowadzi go na bezdroża lub w przepaście."
"Niedźwiedź był również zwierzęciem demonicznym, symbolem płodności, urodzaju, sił wegetacyjnych, a z racji swojego trybu życia (sen zimowy) - odwiecznego zmagania się zimy-śmierci z życiodajną wiosną."
✷
"As they say, bears have souls, and their spirit takes a revenge on it's killer, for example, leading it astray or into the precipice."
"The bear was also a demonic animal, a symbol of fertility, harvest, vegetative forces, and due to its lifestyle (hibernation) - the eternal struggle of winter-death with life-giving spring."
