Awesome Incredible Day of the Dead Skull Choker
These awesome chokers were made with a beads for a variety of sources - mostly from chokers that I buy from Indians who sell them on the streets here in Ojinaga. I take them apart just to get the beads. Some of the skulls I buy from them, and others I make myself. These are totally original and each one is different from any other. As far as I am concerend, this is "designer" jewelry because I design it, and I am an accomplished and original artist. The only is that I work cheap, but that does not take anything from the quality of my work or my talent. Right?
The face on the bead in the center is that of Che Guevara. The colors of the beads are those of the Santisima Muerte - red, white, and black. If you want to know more about this, write me.
Day of Dead art, specifically the use of calaveras as a way of burlesquing persons and institutions which were normally protected by censorship laws is a tradition that goes back very far, with both roots in the European and Indian traditions of Mexico.
From Fausto's Art Gallery in Ojinaga, Chihuahua.
Shipping is $3.00, which includes 65 cents for USPS delivery confirmation.
