I was a little surprised that I saw so many sugar skulls at the festival we went to. But, we were in southern Florida, and I know there is a large Hispanic population in that area. So, maybe I shouldn’t have been so shocked. I’m used to having to explain what the hell I am to Midwesterners.
Next year I’d like to get a higher quality white base as well as a liquid black liner for smoother edges. I think I will also try some shading with multiple colors too. What would you like to see me do next year?
