3D Pop-out Ofrenda in the Cemetery
Cemetery celebrations vary by region throughout Mexico - in the Oaxacan village of Xoxocotlan, thousands of people crowd the dark, old, stone walled cemetery as night falls. They anxiously await the return of their loved one's spirits at midnight, just as they are released from heaven for their 24 hour visit. Millions of candles illuminate the "pantion", as musicians sing serenades to the departed. People enjoy feeling the closeness with their "spirits" until dawn. This pop-out ofrenda reminds me of those chilly nights that warmed my heart.
14 1/2" wide x 15" high x 6" deep. Made in Mexico (shown on blue background)

3D Pop-out Ofrenda w Peek-a-Boo Muerto
Home ofrendas are built in the main room of the house the day before Day of the Dead begins. Ofrenda designs vary from region to region in Mexico, but they all use organic materials available in the region. In the Yucatan, where it's very hot & humid, offerings of fruit hang by string over the banana leaf covered ofrenda. In the state of Mexico and Oaxaca, you see the most sugar skulls... I've strange things too! Since family members put things on the ofrenda to delight the spirits, I've seen Playboy magazines, cigars, playing cards, knitting needles and imported Brachs lemon drops. This pop-out ofrenda has room on the sides for personalization if you choose. Add a photo or remembrance. The lid of the coffin opens to let the happy skeleton peep out. (shown on blue background)
14 1/2" wide x 15" high x 6" deep Made in Mexico.

NEW Jumping Skeleton on Stick

Calavera Cutouts If you don't want to invite real people to your Day of the Dead party, just get a pack of these wild skeletons to keep you company! They don't eat much either! Large 15" tall skeletons do things like playing the guitar, dancing, holding hot chocolate and pan de muerto, drinking in cowboy boots or visiting spirits on the grave. These one-sided cardboard skeletons will help you feel like you're in Mexico for DoD.
The manufacturer of these sends strange odd numbers when I order them, like there's 6 designs, but we'll get lots of some and few of others. So, to solve the problem, we are selling you a set of 5 of the 6 designs. The surprise will be which one will you NOT get! Made in Mexico. (shown on blue background)

Sugar Skull Paper Masks Many indigenous villages throughout southern Mexico have small marches in the streets during DoD. Sometimes, it is a group of friends who are marching to the cemetery, or other times, groups gather with a tuba player and a big 14 foot tall papier mache woman with floppy arms with a dancer looking out from the belly button as it dances down the middle of the street. These are called "muneca de calendas", or parade dolls. People really don't wear masks or face painting much in Mexico for DoD but the Halloween influence is changing a bit of the traditions. These masks should be used for decorations only, but their eyes do punch out. Measuring 8" wide by 6 1/2" high, they have little strings that don't work really well. Made in Mexico.

Day of the Dead Cello Treat BagsEureka! I finally found them. I've hunted for DoD images for years in party shops, dollar stores, big box seasonal aisles, cake decorating shops...
We DoD folks need these to package up our decorated sugar skulls and chocolates made from our molds. We need them to hold our hand made gifts. These bags aren't cheap, but they are truly Day of the Dead images - sugar skulls, catrina and a crazy skeleton dancing in the cemetery. The good thing is that the bags are big - 6" x 11", no gusset. An order comes with all four images, printed in purple, orange and white. Made in Mexico.
A2104 $8 / 25-bag pack |
While we all love to celebrate Day of the Dead with authentic folk art, support the vanishing Mexican artists and keep alive the tradition of hand made crafts ... sometimes folks like school teachers and party planners just need big, colorful, festive graphics for their projects. When I found these items that are designed in Pennsylvania, I decided to add them to our offerings. I think the designer must have spent several years participating in cemetery fiestas in Oaxaca and Michoacan in order to capture the festive nature of the holiday - use of cempasuchil wild marigolds, Posada-esque looking dancing skeletons, accuracy in cemetery "musicos" outfits, sugar skull decoration and the omnipresent Catrina. Note some items come bilingual! ~Angela
