Hi!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIm a new fan of your work wich I discovered thanks to a puertorican artist who post your blog on FB (Alejandra Baiz).
Well, the thing I like the most about the Dia de los Muertos tradition is the skeletons always in colors. Specially women skeletons and their dresses and of course, with flowers everywhere :)
About your work, what can I say? As I said, Im a new fan, so Im right on the way of discovering, but let me tell you something, I loooooooooooooooooooooove the bird ring!!!!!! :D (muchas muchas veces)
I really love your 'give away' and yes, I will love it much more if Im the lucky one to win it :)
Lorena, you ask for contact info....I suscribed to your blog but I also let you my personal blog (both in spanish)...I dont think there is something more personal than my blog to give you...
Have a great week and I hope your creativity never ends,

I fell in love with your skulls last year when I saw them at the SAY SI’s festival. You and your student created some great pieces and this year I think they are even better. I have posted this link at my shop and I have told all my customers about what you do.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon.

I am a follower and I too love your work! I love Mexican folk art and dance, it is just so beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteAlthough my mom is from Mexico, I didn't learn about Day of the Dead until my early 20s from a college friend who made the little life scenes with the little skeletons. It is a fascinating tradition and have grown to love all the art associated with it. It is wonderful that you are keeping it alive with your work.
I have been your fan for quite a while :-)!!!!!
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick Me! You know I'll be your bestest Friend! Your talent deserves to be shown everywhere!

Thanks, Lorena!
Hi Lorena,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for a while now, and always enjoy seeing what you are making. I have always been drawn to Mexican folk art, and love how that tradition colors your work. Is the skull in the necklace copper metal clay, or stamped sheet copper? :)
I also posted the link to this post on my FB jewelry page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pippi-Jewelry/47131944632?ref=ts) and my personal FB profile.

I really like this necklace. I'm fascinated with Day of the Dead stuff, shrines, and milagros. I own a shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe that I bought in Mexico.
ReplyDeletethis is soo cool..would love to win this...displaying on my fb wall too :o)
ReplyDeleteThis piece is so beautiful! I would love to win it, so please enter me! I love the day of the dead traditions. I find it such a loving tribute to those who have gone before us. And a wonderful way to celebrate LIFE! My cousins are 1/2 Mexican (and 1/2 Italian) and we always had pinatas at our Easter Celebrations. We never did the dia de los muertos though, so I've adopted that in my adulthood. :) Your work is beautiful and I'm glad I found it through another posting on FB! I especially love your Tree of Life!

OK, I just posted your giveaway on my FB Page (Tamara Antonelli Comerford), so please enter me again. It feels greedy to do that -- but I just LOVE your pendant! :) s comerford @ comcast (dot) net.

what a lovely pendant...cool skull!
ReplyDeleteMy attention to your blog got drawn by a FB friend's post. I love colorful jewelry and I happened to be in San Antonio only 2 months ago!. Wish I had known about your work earlier, I would have definitely asked you to show me more!. I'm going to post the link to my FB page for eveyone to see. Since I've started to design jewelry myself, I appreciate the work of others even more - especially when it sings to me.
ReplyDeleteCleopatraKerckhof - you can find me on etsy.
Hi Lorena, I just love your art I have not seen anything I was not awe'd by.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful whimical fun style that I appreciate.. I follow you on facebook. I found you just around the time I lost my father and my cousin.. So the celebration of the Dia de los Muertos takes on a special meaning this last month.. Your art makes me smile and gives me a good feeling...

Your work is fabuloso, my friend! Hola from Oaxaca--I leave tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHi Lorena! The necklace is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Dia de los Muertos celebration. Our family never had the tradition of going to the cemetery, mostly because everyone's buried somewhere else, but I adopted variations of it for my family. Usually there's an ofrenda with photos. And I sometimes do a virtual one in a post on my blog. This year I was out of town helping my parents with surgery and storm damage so I didn't get it done. I will probably get a virtual one done, but late.
Some years ago I took the concept and did a memorial service at our local UU fellowship. People would talk about loved ones who had passed (even pets) and there would be candles lit. It was so popular and moving that it became a regular event and was scheduled on the Sunday closest to the Day of the Dead.
Gorgeous as always Lorena! You need to come to Tucson for the all souls procession someday! it's this Sunday- very cool, and Dia de
ReplyDeleteI love watching your creations develop!

ReplyDeleteHi Lorena,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your art!! I didn't know much about Dia de los Muertos before I started following your blog and Facebook posts but it's been fun and interesting to get to know more about it. I think it's such a celebration of life to explore other cultural traditions and you're able to translate your love of that into your beautiful and colorful art for all of us to share. I've also posted this to my Facebook page
