La Catrina "Paloma Negra"

I am working on four La Catrinas this year and got the first finished just in time for this weekend's Spookytime Jingles Soiree in New Hope PA.

"Paloma Negra" is 26" tall, has human hair, glass eyes, and an eye patch over her blind eye.

Stunning! I absolutely love the detail of the blinded eye beneath the patch. Most people would never think to look under it!

I'm now inspired to re-do my sourpuss faced Victorian doll as a Katrina for our museum's Dia de los Muertos altar.

I'm laughing at Joyce's comment, but don't blame her one bit! I think that one person having so much talent, is totally unfair, and probably illegal, but since you keep sharing your brilliance with us, I'm not going to complain.

No doubt this lovely lady has found a new home to grace with her eerie elegance. I'm hope, for their sake, that they will treat her with the reverence that a woman of her stature most certainly deserves. .and demands.

I have a feeling that while she appears to be above any sort of lowly shenanigans, she also is not one to turn her blind eye to any disobedience toward her person.

I love detailed pieces, and you never fail to keep me from studying your art, absorbing each element, always delightfully discovering something new.

Thank you!
