Calavera Sugar Skull Warmer:

I am so excited about this beautiful warmer! The design is very intricate and the photo really does not do this warmer justice. The Calavera Warmer uses a light bulb and it has a beautiful glow when on. This would be a great addition to a Dia de los Muertos celebration or in a teen’s bedroom.

Living in Southern Arizona sugar skulls are abundant but I never really knew the meaning so I decided to do a little digging and this is what I found.

About Sugar Skulls:

Sugar art was introduced to Mexico around the 17th century by Italian missionaries. Mexico was too poor to buy the art but they were rich in sugar so they quickly learned how create sugar

art themselves. Mexican sugar art was used in religious ceremonies and to represent departed souls. The sugar skull is placed on the gravestone to honor the return of the spirit during Dia de los Muertos.
