Description

The listing, Catrina y Posada Skeleton Earrings Day of the Dead has ended.

Here's another pair of Tibet Silver charms made into earrings for you, from me! These feature a everyday Jose, who I affectionately call Posada and an elegant lady, Catrina (immortalized in the satrical etchings of Jose Guadalupe Posada, a highly political artist during the Mexican Revolution. Posada felt the Mexican women of means were too quick to embrace the Western ways of Europe and cast off their own culture, so he quite often depicted them as dead figures, hanging on to the trappings of a life that only the very rich could attain.)

Anyhoo, so much for my art lecture. I do encourage you to read up on Posada though, his work is incredibly poignant.

So. Buy some earrings. They will make you sparkly.

Questions & Comments

You are so dang interesting. What do you do to earn the money for those carrots? I get the feeling you're a genius...or a professor?

I actually run an animal shelter, so I'm not good at earning money. I waste it on critter food! LOL!

My degree is in psychology, but I obviously never use it. And while I do have 'genius' IQ, I have squandered what intellect nature gave me on useless trivia and nonsense. I'm happy though! :D

What are the posts made of?!? I read your comments and Etc... You sound fascinating. I volunteer with dog rescue :)

Thank you so much for voluteering. I cannot stress how important you are in helping keep your shelter going. We love all the help we can get!

The posts are surigal grade stainless steel, but if you are sensitive you might want to give them a pass. I do have some sterling silver posts somewhere if you need me to switch them out.

Look at all my typos! Typing with paws is hard!

Sooo interesting! I love animals, I should run a rescue. Except I would suck at it. And I live in a tight neighborhood so my neighbors would hate me. And I'd probably forget to feed the animals. I should just stick with my 3 dogs. They love me...and I mostly remember to feed them. I should go do that...

You should! But I can imagine people would frown at you stuffing critters in your garage. People get grumpy about that. I live out in the Sticks on 23 acres, so we don't bother anyone. There's ponies, horses, pygmy goats, potbellied pigs, geese, tonnes of dogs and cats, plus one surly llama. If I forgot to feed, they'd eat me. What a terrible way to die.

Maybe I should give extra food. Just in case I start looking delicious.

Pygmy goats! We're looking to buy a few acres and build a house. We're planning on a few of those little guys so we can exploit their labor by using them to mow. Hehe.

Aw man... lemme tell you about pygmy goats. They are evil, rotten little creatures, I love my goats, but there's not fence in the world that will keep them in forever. They go over under and through EVERYTHING. I do a lot of fence mending. But they are excellent mowers. You just gotta watch them so they don't eat every plant in you own.
