Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Cinco de Mayo is the Mexican holiday to commemorate the Battle of Puebla, where the Mexican Army drove back the French forces in an unlikely victory. In the United States it has taken on greater significance as being a day to celebrate Mexican-American culture.
When considering what to build with Shana Brenion's cutie doll concept for the holiday, I was excited at the prospect of building a sugar skull lady. This is technically associated with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), so you'll have to excuse my timing - she is a recolor of Merida with added fringe for the bottom of the dress. The dancer is loosely based on some Spanish wall art we have hanging in our house, I tried to recreate one of the ladies on it.
