Digital painting of Charlavail
So after seeing this ’how to’ video by Charlavail on how to make her Sugar Skulls, I’ve been kind of obsessed with the idea of making my own. It’s only taken me 8 months to get around to it, but here you have it. Just a few of the ones I made.
I figured I might as well make as many as the amount of clay I had would allow (waste not, want not) which turned out to be about 30 (and by just hand painting 30 I have OH SO MUCH more respect for Vail and the hundreds she painted and sold last year. What a trooper!) Obviously I don’t need THIRTY sugar skull hair clips, so I’ve been giving them to all my friends. Spreading the love as much as I can.
So this is actually a thank you to Vail for creating something so wonderful and then providing the means for others to make their own when they missed out. You’re a great inspiration.
