"With Day Of The Dead or Día de los Muertos right around the corner, this LEGO Ideas build captures the haunting beauty of the dead-inspired art that you'd find all across Mexico and other Latin American countries that celebrate the festival honoring the people who have crossed into another realm. The La Catrina is a famous skeletal figure, originally a satirical etching by José Guadalupe Posada that became a national symbol for Día de los Muertos."
""This design is my tribute to that tradition. Inspired by my love of LEGO Art and LEGO Botanical, I combined the two into a colorful vibrant display piece that can be either hung on the wall or transformed into a desk frame for your altar," says creator Deuxmillecinq8916."
"The official brick-count isn't made clear, but it wonderfully blends both Art and Botanicals bricks togher seamlessly. The result is truly something that pops out at you, filling you with a sense of awe as well as that of reverence for those who've passed - something that the Day of the Dead honors and celebrates. In 2008, UNESCO designated the Day of the Dead as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This set allows LEGO enthusiasts worldwide to participate in the celebration through a distinctive and meaningful building experience."
La Catrina is recreated as a colorful LEGO build that channels skeletal Day of the Dead art through LEGO Art and Botanical elements. The 3D display blends botanicals and art bricks into a vibrant piece that can hang on a wall or use a folding kickstand as a desk frame for an altar. The design aims to celebrate life and honor loved ones year-round, not only on November 1st. The official brick count is unspecified, but the build melds Art and Botanicals bricks seamlessly. UNESCO designated Day of the Dead as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008. The MOC has received around 150 votes on LEGO Ideas.
