As soon as I saw them I knew....I LOVE these guys!
They had to travel from Mexico to join the others at the Rodrigvitz hacienda....
they are named Mictlani's by the artist Angelica Garcia, Arte Topalli, and each has it's own unique personality
and they're settling in well....
Don't forget Dia de Bloglandia (read post below for me info), leave a comment if you are going to participate...check out Angelica's Dia de los Muertos Calaveras.
These are beautiful; I like how they are a combination of folk art and somewhat comical, like the nightmare before christmas.

These are fantastic, Steph! So alive and energetic!! You have to check out www.mexicansugarskull.com for their goodies. And they have some HUGE skulls by this artist for sale. They are really big - I ordered one and actually sent it back it was so big. They have other sizes too. It's a really great site for all things Dios de los Muertos!

Wow...looks like some new family at Casa Rodrigvitz!
They look joyous and happy in their new home.
I'm guessing that Itty and Mellie are circling them as we speak...
Wonderful find!
