Day of the Dead Crafts
Westword Magazine Denver has selected Day of the Dead Crafts "Best Craft Book..." Cantata's newest book is drawing acclaim from crafters and reviewers from around the country!
...the book is a treasure trove of items you can make. The stunning photographs and the clear directions make the reader hopeful that their folk art will be welcomed and honored, too. - Gwynne Spencer, Children's Literature
Inside you'll find step-by-step instructions, ideas, and inspiration for a wide range of projects, including:
• Calaveras, those comical and clever skeleton figures caught in the act of enjoying life's favorite activities • Masks and skulls made from paper maché, gourds, and even sugar
• A meaningful and artistic ofrenda, or altar, to honor those who have passed
• Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and more to wear day or night
• Pieces guaranteed to liven up any décor
Colorful, whimsical, and often dramatic, Day of the Dead art is steeped in rich history and symbolism. The projects in Day of the Dead Crafts honor the traditional, while taking advantage of today's materials for a fresh and exciting twist.
