Hello everyone, happy beginning of the week, happy awakening, may this week be full of success for everyone who is reading this post, October is ending and we all know what is celebrated at the end of the month, in every family there are cousins haha who ask for academic help, this time a cousin who is about to graduate was sent to make a catrina mask, papel picado and a literary calaverita.
For the calaverita I used AI because I had no idea about it and if we have the resources of CHAT GPT why not use them, in less than 1 minute I created a short and spectacular one, but I don't tell him how to use it because he has to make an effort, but aha to what we are interested in, in this post I will tell you how I made a catrina mask for man and woman.
Los materiales que utilice son: cartulina opalina, tijera, silicón al frio, regla, pinturas de vinil, marcador negro, papel de seda y grapadora. Lo primero que hice fue buscar el patrón de la máscara, el me mando unos ejemplos pero eran más difícil, así que decidí buscar una máscara de calavera y pintar sobre ella todos los adornos u objetos, bueno teniendo el modelo procedí a sacarlo impreso en una cartulina corte previamente tamaño oficio. Luego tome el lápiz y coloque a volar mi imaginación, como me encantan los mándalas realice cosas similares. Seguidamente tome las pinturas al frio y un pincel fino y comencé a pintar la primera que termine fue la de hombre dado que esta no llevaba tantos detalles.
The materials I used are: opaline cardboard, scissors, cold silicone, ruler, vinyl paints, black marker, tissue paper and stapler. The first thing I did was to look for the pattern of the mask, he sent me some examples but they were more difficult, so I decided to look for a skull mask and paint on it all the ornaments or objects, well having the model I proceeded to take it printed on a cardboard previously cut size office. Then I took the pencil and let my imagination fly, as I love mandalas I made similar things. Then I took the cold paints and a fine brush and began to paint the first one I finished was the man since this one did not have so many details.
For the woman, at the beginning was the same procedure, but as more details when creating figures, I liked more to make the girl because I used more paints and that is what gives life, I had me thinking was the flowers, I knew I was going to use tissue paper because it was what I had at hand, but did not know how to make them, so I used a wildcard, my mom she knew how to make them, the procedure is as follows:
1.- Cortar una tira de papel de seda, de aproximadamente 10 centímetros.
2.- Cortar cuadrados todos del mismo tamaño.
3.- Colocar cada cuadro uno sobre otro
4.- doblar por la mitad, luego doblar nuevamente y así doblar cuatro veces.
5.- Marcar en el papel la parte de arriba de un corazón y recortar.
6.- Se desdobla y colocar una grapita en el medio.
7.- Ir levantando lentamente cada pedacito de papel hasta formar la florecita.
1.- Cut a strip of tissue paper, approximately 10 centimeters long.
2.- Cut squares all of the same size.
3.- Place each square one on top of the other.
4.- Fold in half, then fold again and fold four times.
5.- Mark the top of a heart on the paper and cut it out.
6.- Unfold and place a staple in the middle.
7.- Slowly lift each piece of paper until the flower is formed.
The procedure is a little tedious but very easy to perform, in my case I made two purple ones, two bigger pink ones and a green one and glued them on the top, on the side with a hole punch I opened a hole on each side to place a cord, as it is made of cardboard I did not want to place rubber because it can break at the time of placing them.
