I just hooked up with a friend of mine who moved away a few years back.
She used to make Day of the Dead art too, but then became smitten with tattoo art. She nows does mucho, MU-CHO tattoo art on bodies and bowling pins - check out her brand new site, it rocks!

look along the top for the page links, i think she'll be adding more stuff later. the bowling pins are pricey, but you can get a set of magnets for cheap, unless in true get crafty spirit you can find a fab way to make your own!!

Another cool Mexican-kitsch art website from another friend of mine here in Phoenix:

and here's one from another Phx store featuring pimp daddy threads and weird stuff like coffin belt buckles, etc

ok, i'm outta here - mucho besos

adios amigas!

Those bowling pins ROCK!!! Thanks for that link! Now I am going to look for bowling pins to paint on...

I've seen your friend's stuff in International Tattoo, and since then I've been obsessed with bowling pins. Not that I can do anything with them like *she* can, but still. Thanks for posting her website--it's really cool!

crafty chica,

the bowling pin link is amazing!
thank you! thank you!

those pins are most awesome!!! :)

So, this is the weirdest thing. I was reading this topic earlier today and checked out the website and stuff (which is very cool), and just now I called my mom on the phone and she told me
that my dad randomly brought home a pick-up full of bowling pins that he bought at an auction. So, if anyone wants some bowling pins, let me know :)

Oh, I'm Jenn by the way. (This is only my second post.) I love this site!!!
