So excited my buddy and I landed an awesome and highly coveted spot at Grandma Party Bazaar!
What?
You’ve never heard of GPB?!
It’s only one of hippest, chillest and dopest events in Winter Park Florida! Every year for the last 16 Decembers, local artists gather to show off some of the coolest art for sale. DJ’s, great food, cocktails and craft brews and the best crowd of people spend the day shopping for unique items just in time for those all too important seasonal gifts.
This will make our 3rd year and I’ve been preparing for months already. So I wanted to wear something that would showcase my crochet skills and I adore rainbow yarns. This is my modern take on the poncho we all know from the 70s.
If you’re into quirky giant crochet food and other accoutrements look us up Sunday December 16 Starlight Video & Coffee GRANDMA PARTY BAZAAR Winter Park Florida / Orlando Florida. Just look for the giant sushi rolls!

“Calaca” pays tribute to the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos, which would eventually inspire parts of the cultural amalgamation we know and celebrate as Halloween.
My rendition of the calaca borrows from the reverence of the dead celebrated in Mexico as well as an iteration of Death from the Guatemalan interpretation. I also mixed in elements of the cowboy aesthetic to pay homage to Mexicans laying the foundation to what would later become known as the North American cowboy (also because Death always feels synonymous with that aesthetic).
Feel free to like or reblog, and Happy Halloween / Day of the Dead !!!
