Details

The cover of this small journal is a print from the original artwork of artist Alejandra Aceves in Mexico. In this marvelous artwork, she depicts "La Catrina", clutching a heart in her skeletal arms under a moonlit sky. The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject. The appealing artwork graces a spiral-bound notebook of unlined paper. Use it to record the daily joys and special moments in your life.

“An Original Design in Blue and White”

This mug is a welcome addition to my blue and white ceramics collection. It is well-made, and the amimals on it are delightful. I appreciate that Alejandras design is on both sides of the mug, which suits both the right-handed and the left-handed (like me).
