Viva la Pinata

Description

This is my entry for Katy Towell's "Make a Piñata, Win Some Death" completion. --> [link]

The purpose was to make a death themed piñata, and since piñatas are closely related to Mexican culture, I thought my theme should involve Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). For those who don't know, Dia de los Muertos is a celebration to honor the dead. Although it takes place around the same time as Halloween (and is about death), the mood is much brighter. A vividly colored and flower-clad skeleton is its most well known symbol.

Skull: paper mache, acrylic paint
Hat: crepe paper, Styrofoam, cardboard, synthetic flowers
(And yes, it's completely hollow. I'm very tempted to fill it with pudding... I don't know why.)
