SilverCrow Creations Day of the Dead (Muertos) Figures & Diorama Box Scenes

Looking for Hallowe'en? or Day of the Dead Sundries & Specialty Items?

These Posada-like Day of the Dead character skeletons are made of the traditional plaster or papier mâché. We have a limited number of each of the characters. Each one is completely different because they are hand-sculpted and hand painted. Add one to your own special nicho or retablo. Create an entire vignette with several of them. Several characters, such as Catrina maybe be dressed in any color - we've not seen two the same - so please let us choose for you.

This interesting vignette is not a traditional Day of the Dead sculpture, although we think it quite fascinating. What might happen if the Devil is behind you? He is the barber in this provocative vignette.

Just like the rest of our folk art sculptures each of these vignettes is hand sculpted and painted by traditional artisans in Mexico. This one measures about 3-3/4 by 2-1/4 inches and is about 3-1/4 inches high. Although the design is similar, each of the individual pieces varies slightly due to the nature of hand-made folk art. So, please let us choose one for you.

More Butterflies & Other Insects

Each Day of the Dead Mini Butterfly is hand made in the tradition of the Day of the Dead pieces made by traditional Mexican artisans. And, it carries the significance of the butterfly - the metamorphosis from cocoon to beautiful butterfly!

The gorgeous monarch butterflies that summer up north return to Mexico for the winter. They enjoy the protection of the oyamel fir trees. Anyone would welcome the lovely butterflies just for their beauty, but the local residents believe that the butterflies bear the spirits of their beloved ancestors, which are honored during Los Dias de los Muertos.

Each measures about 42inches from top to bottom and just about 2 inches wide and has a self hanging hook on the back. Just like the rest of our Day of the Dead Figurines, each of these mariposas is hand made and decorated by traditional artisans in Mexico, so each will be unique. Please let us choose one for you.

Or, you can add some mini foods - and he can be a host for the ofrenda, or...

Postcard of Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera con Judas

Our Day Of The Dead Papier Mâché Judas is a traditional character present in many Mexican and Central American celebrations. By tradition, Judas characterizations are made in the images of those in authority - such as judges and the police. In celebrations, they are filled with gun powder and fireworks and when exploded, a great cloud of paper scraps and smoke appears, the paper raining down around the celebrants.

Of course, ours is an image only (no gun powder or fireworks are included). Figures like this little fellow were made even more popular by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera as they began to collect them along with other local folk art.

Each of these is very different from the next - from his horns to his wings to his body decoration. These are hand sculpted, painted and decorated by traditional artisans in the same manner they have made these for decades.

Every Judas is vibrantly colored in reds, blues and yellows. The approximate measurements are 15-1/2 inches from the tip of his horns to the bottoms of his feet. From wingtip to wingtip, he is about 7-1/4 inches wide. And, as he sits on your shelf or chair, he measures 7 inches from front to back.

Mexican Sugar Skull Molds

Sugar Skulls are a traditional folk art from Central and southern Mexico. They are customarily used in Day of the Dead celebrations. Local village open air markets offer mounds of colorful sugar skulls for sale during the week preceding the Day of the Dead. Now you can make your own!

Over the last few  years, people have been producing non-traditional candies and other items such as soaps and plaster images in the same manner of the sugar skulls.

Our molds can be used to make the traditional sugar skulls, chocolate skull candies and even soaps and plaster items.

Choose from either of our Posada-inspired mini molds: Frida Kahlo or Mini Traditional. The Frida mold is best for chocolate or soap as the intricate details are harder to decorate, but the traditional sugar mixture works well in either mold.

If you are going to make plaster or soap skulls, please do not use the same mold for making edible items.

Instructions included.

The coquettish image of the Catrina inspires Maria Belen Nilson's Day of the Dead Catrina Earrings. Catrina is the original creation of José Guadalupe Posada, renowned author, journalist and political cartoonist (1852-1913). Posada is credited for popularizing the Day of the Dead celebrations, especially through the creation of skeletal (calaca) cartoons that capture the Mexican attitude towards death.

One of the most renowned skeletons is the Catrina, (meaning "dapper lady"), and she is always elegantly dressed featuring a wide brimmed hat with flowers. Our earrings set measures 3/4 inch wide by about 2 inches long. These are hand made, so please allow for variation.
