She started making paper flowers

104
00:03:18,966 --> 00:03:24,733
and she told me one day, "Do you

105
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,366
want to make paper flowers?"

106
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,700
I said, "No, I don't like it."

107
00:03:24,733 --> 00:03:31,266
And she says, "Like what?

108
00:03:27,366 --> 00:03:32,600
I bet you cannot make prickly

109
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,900
paper flowers.

110
00:03:31,266 --> 00:03:35,666

111
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,666
She said, "Yeah."

112
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:37,900
And I decided to challenge,

113
00:03:35,666 --> 00:03:38,433
you know, take that challenge.

114
00:03:36,666 --> 00:03:39,166
Said yeah, I think I could

115
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,033
make them.

116
00:03:38,433 --> 00:03:41,400
I said, "Okay."

117
00:03:39,166 --> 00:03:42,766
>> So this is

118
00:03:40,033 --> 00:03:44,466
a prickly pear flower.

119
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,866
So not only do you make the

120
00:03:42,766 --> 00:03:46,433
flower, but you make the bud.

121
00:03:44,466 --> 00:03:47,700
You make this out of maché.

122
00:03:45,866 --> 00:03:50,200
>> Yeah.

123
00:03:46,433 --> 00:03:51,566
>> And this is something

124
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:52,966
that you create and the little

125
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,433
spikes and everything.

126
00:03:51,566 --> 00:03:56,333

128
00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:59,766

130
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:01,966

131
00:03:59,766 --> 00:04:02,533

132
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,600
to make these.

133
00:04:01,966 --> 00:04:04,333
>> Yeah.

134
00:04:02,533 --> 00:04:05,400
>> She dared you to make this.

135
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,066
And you said, "Okay,

136
00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:10,866
alright, I can do that."

137
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:12,100
>> I could do that, yeah.

138
00:04:07,066 --> 00:04:13,400
>> So then also, so I have this.

139
00:04:10,866 --> 00:04:14,333

140
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:15,300
>> I know it was the first one.

141
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,166
>> It is, I know. Right?

142
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:16,933
Right, right, I love it.

143
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:18,033
It's a red carnation

144
00:04:16,166 --> 00:04:19,833
because you know how much

145
00:04:16,933 --> 00:04:21,633
you love red carnations.

146
00:04:18,033 --> 00:04:24,233
And then this is a marigold,

147
00:04:19,833 --> 00:04:25,666
which we're going to make today.

148
00:04:21,633 --> 00:04:26,266
>> I make big flowers and then

149
00:04:24,233 --> 00:04:27,733
that's for the beginners.

150
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:28,300
>> Okay.

151
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:29,833
>> And then we have three

152
00:04:27,733 --> 00:04:32,233
levels.

153
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:34,033
And then at the third level

154
00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:35,333
you make with a very more

155
00:04:32,233 --> 00:04:35,900
realistic and more detailed.

156
00:04:34,033 --> 00:04:37,166
>> And that's these guys.

157
00:04:35,333 --> 00:04:37,833
>> Yeah.

158
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:38,466
>> So I mean, look at the

159
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:39,033
difference.

160
00:04:37,833 --> 00:04:42,066
>> Mm-hmm.

161
00:04:38,466 --> 00:04:43,500
>> Yeah.

162
00:04:39,033 --> 00:04:45,666
So beginner then more realistic.

163
00:04:42,066 --> 00:04:47,200
You are telling me

164
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:48,466
that there are certain flowers

165
00:04:45,666 --> 00:04:49,533
that are also associated

166
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,966

167
00:04:48,466 --> 00:04:51,700

168
00:04:49,533 --> 00:04:52,900
>> We have the marigolds.

169
00:04:50,966 --> 00:04:54,466
>> Mm-hmm.

170
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:56,400
>> And the marigold,

171
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:57,600
the scent is thought to help

172
00:04:54,466 --> 00:04:58,933
bring the spirits back,

173
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,833
that you can sprinkle

174
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,133
the petals, and they may follow

175
00:04:58,933 --> 00:05:04,633
that path of the petals.

176
00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:07,066
>> Yeah.

177
00:05:02,133 --> 00:05:08,766
>> And this -- Okay.

178
00:05:04,633 --> 00:05:09,833
So this is cockscomb.

179
00:05:07,066 --> 00:05:11,400
Or Celosia.

180
00:05:08,766 --> 00:05:12,500
These are so lovely.

181
00:05:09,833 --> 00:05:13,400
And so this is also

182
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,233
a flower that is used for

183
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,533
Día de los Muertos.

184
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,100
>> Correct. Yeah.

185
00:05:14,233 --> 00:05:17,233
>> Along with chrysanthemums.

186
00:05:15,533 --> 00:05:18,000
>> Mm-hmm.

187
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:18,500
>> And then you said also

188
00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:20,200
the wallflower?

189
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,366
>> Yeah.

190
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:22,533
>> So those are

191
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,966
traditionally the ones.

192
00:05:21,366 --> 00:05:24,966
But you're going to teach me

193
00:05:22,533 --> 00:05:26,866

194
00:05:23,966 --> 00:05:30,933
>> Yeah.

195
00:05:24,966 --> 00:05:32,666
>> ...a marigold first, right?

196
00:05:26,866 --> 00:05:34,066
♪♪

197
00:05:30,933 --> 00:05:34,966
Okay, Sandy, so this is what

198
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:35,966
we're going to make.

199
00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:37,966
>> Correct.

200
00:05:34,966 --> 00:05:39,333
>> And you said that it takes

201
00:05:35,966 --> 00:05:40,633
a while and you're faster.

202
00:05:37,966 --> 00:05:41,800
>> I'm faster than you.

203
00:05:39,333 --> 00:05:44,233
>> I'm sure, I'm sure.

204
00:05:40,633 --> 00:05:46,100
I can't wait though.

205
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:48,566
Okay, so you did it in stages

206
00:05:44,233 --> 00:05:49,933
for us, which is so wonderful.

207
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:51,200
So you started with this.

208
00:05:48,566 --> 00:05:53,100
How did you do that?

209
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:54,233
>> So what I do, yeah,

210
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,866
I make strips of the paper.

211
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:55,866
>> So this is the crepe paper

212
00:05:54,233 --> 00:05:56,633
that you use.

213
00:05:54,866 --> 00:05:57,566
>> This is a crepe paper.

214
00:05:55,866 --> 00:05:58,133
>> So I have this.

215
00:05:56,633 --> 00:05:59,566
>> Fold this like that

216
00:05:57,566 --> 00:06:01,533
and fold it.

217
00:05:58,133 --> 00:06:02,766
>> Fold it.

218
00:05:59,566 --> 00:06:04,200
>> Fold it again.

219
00:06:01,533 --> 00:06:05,766
>> Again.

220
00:06:02,766 --> 00:06:06,933
Okay.

221
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,200
>> And fold it like that.

222
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:10,000
So then with your scissors,

223
00:06:06,933 --> 00:06:12,766
we're going to make this shape.

224
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,933
It looks like an oval inside,

225
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,466
but in the bottom you don't

226
00:06:12,766 --> 00:06:17,066
do any of the cutting.

227
00:06:13,933 --> 00:06:17,500
>> Don't do any of that, okay.

228
00:06:15,466 --> 00:06:19,033
>> It will be more like a paper

229
00:06:17,066 --> 00:06:19,733
doll.

230
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:20,766
You know how a paper doll when

231
00:06:19,033 --> 00:06:21,866
you cut it?

232
00:06:19,733 --> 00:06:23,166
They have to be together.

233
00:06:20,766 --> 00:06:24,266
So now you

234
00:06:21,866 --> 00:06:27,433
open it in the middle.

235
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:28,200
And if you see, like, there's

236
00:06:24,266 --> 00:06:29,266
anything that is together,

237
00:06:27,433 --> 00:06:29,900
you just cut it.

238
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,900
So we make that.

239
00:06:29,266 --> 00:06:32,933
>> Ohh.

240
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:34,533
>> But before you open

241
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:35,266
it completely...

242
00:06:32,933 --> 00:06:36,400
>> Yes?

243
00:06:34,533 --> 00:06:37,400
>> Put it back.

244
00:06:35,266 --> 00:06:39,366
>> Uh-huh. Okay.

245
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,966
>> The easiest part is to

246
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,733
stretch the paper in the middle.

247
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:45,133
>> Oh, I see. Okay.

248
00:06:41,966 --> 00:06:47,133
>> And then you twist it

249
00:06:43,733 --> 00:06:48,600
on the top like that

250
00:06:45,133 --> 00:06:51,866
with your thumb and your fingers

251
00:06:47,133 --> 00:06:54,633
here so it will look like,

252
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:56,100
kind of like wrinkly.

253
00:06:51,866 --> 00:06:56,966
And then you open it.

254
00:06:54,633 --> 00:06:57,666
>>  Then  you open it.

255
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,833
>> Mm-hmm.

256
00:06:56,966 --> 00:07:01,266
>> So it's going to look

257
00:06:57,666 --> 00:07:03,633
like little paper dolls.

258
00:06:58,833 --> 00:07:05,133
>> So the center is pretty

259
00:07:01,266 --> 00:07:06,100
much like that when you make it.

260
00:07:03,633 --> 00:07:06,733
So you put this all together

261
00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:08,000
like this.

262
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:09,400
Okay?

263
00:07:06,733 --> 00:07:10,233
And then your wire is going

264
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,666
to be in the middle.

265
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,766
>> Uh-huh.

266
00:07:10,233 --> 00:07:13,666
>> But you see how it started.

267
00:07:11,666 --> 00:07:14,666
And look in the center

268
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:16,166
like more...

269
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:17,866
>> I see, yes.

270
00:07:14,666 --> 00:07:19,666
>> Like a little -- Okay.

271
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:20,900
And then for the next step,

272
00:07:17,866 --> 00:07:21,733
then you have to cut the petals

273
00:07:19,666 --> 00:07:23,000
more round like that.

274
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:23,900
And this is what will

275
00:07:21,733 --> 00:07:24,866
take you forever.

276
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,066
>> Okay, I see.

277
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:26,400
So this is why you made

278
00:07:24,866 --> 00:07:27,366
everything ahead of time.

279
00:07:26,066 --> 00:07:30,533
Got it.

280
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,100
>> Because we're going to make

281
00:07:27,366 --> 00:07:32,766
now individual, single petals.

282
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:33,633
They are not like paper doll

283
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:34,900
no more.

284
00:07:32,766 --> 00:07:35,766
>> Okay, correct.

285
00:07:33,633 --> 00:07:36,933
Your fingernails come in handy

286
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:37,633
for this, don't they?

287
00:07:35,766 --> 00:07:38,566
>> Yeah, mm-hmm.

288
00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:40,433
>> Yeah.

289
00:07:37,633 --> 00:07:41,200
>> So this one, you're just

290
00:07:38,566 --> 00:07:42,766
going to fold it like that.

291
00:07:40,433 --> 00:07:45,000
>> Mm-hmm.

292
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:47,266
>> And fold it like this.

293
00:07:42,766 --> 00:07:48,566
And then twist the spot

294
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,633
with your fingers like that.

295
00:07:47,266 --> 00:07:50,966
>> So that's what you did

296
00:07:48,566 --> 00:07:52,133
with each one of those.

297
00:07:49,633 --> 00:07:53,200
So we have a single petal

298
00:07:50,966 --> 00:07:54,566
that looks like that.

299
00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:55,066
So this was the little paper

300
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,666
dolls in the center

301
00:07:54,566 --> 00:07:59,233
and the petals

302
00:07:55,066 --> 00:08:00,933
added around the outside, okay.

303
00:07:56,666 --> 00:08:01,933
>> So now we do the tacky glue.

304
00:07:59,233 --> 00:08:02,966
>> This is the next set, okay.

305
00:08:00,933 --> 00:08:03,300
>> So you're just going to start

306
00:08:01,933 --> 00:08:04,700
putting them in right there.

307
00:08:02,966 --> 00:08:07,300
Okay?

308
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:08,066
You need to go all around

309
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:08,700
and put in each petal.

310
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:12,166
>> Oh, I love...

311
00:08:08,066 --> 00:08:14,566
>> Following.

312
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:15,900
But just to make sure

313
00:08:12,166 --> 00:08:17,033
this part, it goes inside.

314
00:08:14,566 --> 00:08:18,466
>> Oh, okay.

315
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,766
So pay attention.

316
00:08:17,033 --> 00:08:21,000
Alright. Got it. Yeah.

317
00:08:18,466 --> 00:08:21,766
>> Once you put the petals,

318
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:22,966
eventually they're going to go

319
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,900
all the way up.

320
00:08:21,766 --> 00:08:26,133
>> It starts to get bigger

321
00:08:22,966 --> 00:08:28,166
and it starts to go around.

322
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:30,400
>> So yeah.

323
00:08:26,133 --> 00:08:31,333
So this is actually the

324
00:08:28,166 --> 00:08:32,100
hardest part to do to steady it.

325
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,633
>> This is the hardest part

326
00:08:31,333 --> 00:08:33,766
you think?

327
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:35,133
Okay.

328
00:08:32,633 --> 00:08:37,633
>> Because you have to do

329
00:08:33,766 --> 00:08:38,633
one petal at a time and make

330
00:08:35,133 --> 00:08:39,566
sure they're in the same lane.

331
00:08:37,633 --> 00:08:40,766
>> Right.

332
00:08:38,633 --> 00:08:42,066
>> Okay.

333
00:08:39,566 --> 00:08:43,400
>> We would continue to do this

334
00:08:40,766 --> 00:08:44,066
till it looked like this.

335
00:08:42,066 --> 00:08:45,233
>> Then it's going to look

336
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,600
like that.

337
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:48,133
>> Then we have these.

338
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:48,733
>> These are really interesting

339
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,266
because if you open them...

340
00:08:48,133 --> 00:08:50,933
>> Yes?

341
00:08:48,733 --> 00:08:52,033
>> ...they are three petals

342
00:08:50,266 --> 00:08:52,766
together.

343
00:08:50,933 --> 00:08:54,533
>> Ohhh, okay.

344
00:08:52,033 --> 00:08:56,900
>> Okay?

345
00:08:52,766 --> 00:09:00,300
So what I did, I put them

346
00:08:54,533 --> 00:09:02,933
together but like this.

347
00:08:56,900 --> 00:09:04,066
So they will be turning over

348
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:06,000
and then twist apart.

349
00:09:02,933 --> 00:09:07,100
>> So then you have

350
00:09:04,066 --> 00:09:09,133
three petals together.

351
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,966
So these are still

352
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:11,200
the tubular ones from before.

353
00:09:09,133 --> 00:09:11,533
These are going to go

354
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:12,700
in there like that.

355
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,800
>> Yeah.

356
00:09:11,533 --> 00:09:15,833
Once you are done with all those

357
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:17,933
petals around, just to make sure

358
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,033
that all your petals

359
00:09:15,833 --> 00:09:21,066
are so kind of like reshape all

360
00:09:17,933 --> 00:09:22,033
the tubes they are around here.

361
00:09:20,033 --> 00:09:22,800
>> Ohh, okay.

362
00:09:21,066 --> 00:09:23,700
I love that.

363
00:09:22,033 --> 00:09:25,066
>> Okay?

364
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,366
How do you call the part of

365
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:27,133
this, of the flower?

366
00:09:25,066 --> 00:09:29,033
Is that the sepal?

367
00:09:26,366 --> 00:09:30,333
>> Calyx.

368
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:31,333
But sepal is correct as well,

369
00:09:29,033 --> 00:09:32,533
but calyx also.

370
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:33,166
So like on a carnation,

371
00:09:31,333 --> 00:09:34,900
we call it a calyx.

372
00:09:32,533 --> 00:09:35,933
>> Okay.

373
00:09:33,166 --> 00:09:35,933
So before that, we stretch

374
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:35,933
just a little bit.

375
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:39,100
>> Just at the top.

376
00:09:36,866 --> 00:09:41,533
>> Yeah. So then we just go

377
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:42,600
like that for a little bit only.

378
00:09:41,533 --> 00:09:43,433
>> Paper dolls again.

379
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,400
>> Yeah. Mm-hmm.

380
00:09:43,433 --> 00:09:47,233
But this part we're going

381
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,933
to make little um...

382
00:09:47,233 --> 00:09:50,300
How to call it? A zigzag.

383
00:09:48,933 --> 00:09:51,966
>> Oh, like zigzag.

384
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:53,000
Yeah, like pinking shears

385
00:09:51,966 --> 00:09:53,733
almost, yeah.

386
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,766
>> Yeah.

387
00:09:53,733 --> 00:09:56,866
So you don't have to be perfect

388
00:09:54,766 --> 00:09:57,233
because this is underneath.

389
00:09:56,866 --> 00:09:59,566
Okay.

390
00:09:57,233 --> 00:10:01,566
>> Look at it. That's wonderful.

391
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:02,966
>> So this is going to be...

392
00:10:01,566 --> 00:10:04,466
>> Oh!

393
00:10:02,966 --> 00:10:05,333
That's great. I love it.

394
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:07,966
>> Finish this here

395
00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:09,600
so you can look at it.

396
00:10:07,966 --> 00:10:11,233
But to see more of the bottom,

397
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,900
you can study like that so you

398
00:10:11,233 --> 00:10:14,900
will see how to assemble this.

399
00:10:15,133 --> 00:10:18,733
>> And our glue dries clear.

400
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,533
So if it gets on something,

401
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,066
we're not going

402
00:10:18,733 --> 00:10:24,600
to see it later on.

403
00:10:19,533 --> 00:10:26,066
>> So that's the...

404
00:10:23,066 --> 00:10:27,700
That part.

405
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,966
>> You put the glue.

406
00:10:26,066 --> 00:10:30,633
>> Okay.

407
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:33,233
>> And you're going to put

408
00:10:28,966 --> 00:10:34,466
this paper and then

409
00:10:30,633 --> 00:10:35,833
you're going to go like this.

410
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:37,066
Put more glue here

411
00:10:34,466 --> 00:10:40,833
and then you're just gonna...

412
00:10:35,833 --> 00:10:43,133
>> Oh, got it, got it. Okay.

413
00:10:37,066 --> 00:10:44,200
>> I'll let you do that.

414
00:10:40,833 --> 00:10:46,633
The leaf is already made.

415
00:10:43,133 --> 00:10:47,566
>> Right.

416
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,666
So you cut those leaves again

417
00:10:46,633 --> 00:10:49,700
and did a little twist

418
00:10:47,566 --> 00:10:51,433
on the bottom like this.

419
00:10:48,666 --> 00:10:53,033
>> Yeah. Mm-hmm.

420
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,566
>> And then you glued them into

421
00:10:51,433 --> 00:10:54,333
this the same way I just did

422
00:10:53,033 --> 00:10:55,600
there.

423
00:10:53,566 --> 00:10:55,900
>> Exactly. Yeah.

424
00:10:54,333 --> 00:10:56,766
>> Am I going to do it the same

425
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,366
way?

426
00:10:55,900 --> 00:11:00,366
>> With the same way

427
00:10:56,766 --> 00:11:00,366
and then you use the paper.

428
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,633
>> It's beautiful

429
00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:04,200
and it's a piece of art.

430
00:11:03,633 --> 00:11:05,500
>> Yeah.

431
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,033
>> This is just gorgeous.

432
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:13,433

436

>> Calavera.

440
00:11:24,633 --> 00:11:29,333
>> Which is a skull.

441
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,633
>> Okay. And it's reminiscent

442
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,633
of the sugar skulls.

443
00:11:29,333 --> 00:11:32,833
>> The sugar skulls, yeah.

444
00:11:30,633 --> 00:11:34,300
>> And so people would get these

445
00:11:31,633 --> 00:11:35,233
and it's just a candy

446
00:11:32,833 --> 00:11:35,833
and a sweet that they have.

447
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:38,633
>> Yeah. Mm-hmm.

448
00:11:35,233 --> 00:11:40,066
>> Yeah.

449
00:11:35,833 --> 00:11:41,233
And so you decided to make these

450
00:11:38,633 --> 00:11:44,433
out of papier-mâché.

451
00:11:40,066 --> 00:11:45,666
>> Yeah, double paper.

452
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:47,100
>> Okay. So then there's also

453
00:11:44,433 --> 00:11:48,066
the skeleton figures.

454
00:11:45,666 --> 00:11:48,966
And so these are called...

455
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:49,833
>> Catrina.

456
00:11:48,066 --> 00:11:51,866
>> Catrina.

457
00:11:48,966 --> 00:11:52,933
>> Mm-hmm.

458
00:11:49,833 --> 00:11:55,233
>> And so you made this one and

459
00:11:51,866 --> 00:11:56,833
sent it to me.

460
00:11:52,933 --> 00:11:57,633
So this one is Dorothy because

461
00:11:55,233 --> 00:11:58,633
that was the lady who raised me.

462
00:11:56,833 --> 00:11:59,800
We bring this up

463
00:11:57,633 --> 00:12:01,466
to celebrate Dorothy.

464
00:11:58,633 --> 00:12:02,933
And then you sent me these

465
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,233
for Lucy and Clara.

466
00:12:01,466 --> 00:12:05,533
So we have those

467
00:12:02,933 --> 00:12:06,133
in our possession as well.

468
00:12:04,233 --> 00:12:07,166
So how is that part

469
00:12:05,533 --> 00:12:09,300
of the culture?

470
00:12:06,133 --> 00:12:10,333
Explain that to me, because it's

471
00:12:07,166 --> 00:12:12,600
not really -- it's not scary.

472
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:15,433
>> No. It's not.

473
00:12:10,333 --> 00:12:16,700
It's supposed to be

474
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,433
something to remember

475
00:12:15,433 --> 00:12:18,166
a loved one that is not here

476
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:20,933
anymore.

477
00:12:17,433 --> 00:12:23,433
>> Okay.

478
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:25,466
>> All what we do is to decorate

479
00:12:20,933 --> 00:12:27,366
and pretty much represent

480
00:12:23,433 --> 00:12:28,733
is just happiness and the life

481
00:12:25,466 --> 00:12:31,266
that they had before

482
00:12:27,366 --> 00:12:31,900
and that was all happy.

483
00:12:28,733 --> 00:12:33,000
And that's not scary no more.

484
00:12:31,266 --> 00:12:34,800
>> Right.

485
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:36,366
>> And when we die,

486
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,966
when we pass, it should--

487
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,566
It shouldn't be that scary to.

488
00:12:36,366 --> 00:12:40,133
>> So it's a day of celebration.

489
00:12:37,966 --> 00:12:41,600
>> It is.

490
00:12:38,566 --> 00:12:43,333
>> It's not a day of being sad.

491
00:12:40,133 --> 00:12:45,066
>> No. And even though

492
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,533
they are in our memories,

493
00:12:43,333 --> 00:12:49,200
they are in our memories.

494
00:12:45,066 --> 00:12:50,533
But that day is very special

495
00:12:46,533 --> 00:12:52,600
because we believe they really

496
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,466
come and visit you.

497
00:12:50,533 --> 00:12:55,400
>> I sent you pictures

498
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,833
and you did this for Eleanor.

499
00:12:54,466 --> 00:12:57,733
>> For Eleanor, yes.

500
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,366
>> Yes.

501
00:12:55,833 --> 00:13:02,266
>> So Eleanor is very special.

502
00:12:57,733 --> 00:13:03,733
This actually was hard.

503
00:12:59,366 --> 00:13:05,200
And then I studied and --

504
00:13:02,266 --> 00:13:06,233
I didn't know the paper.

505
00:13:03,733 --> 00:13:07,200
So that's something that,

506
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,466
you know, that we're going to be

507
00:13:06,233 --> 00:13:10,300
painting.

508
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,466
We're going to do some of

509
00:13:08,466 --> 00:13:13,400
the skeleton

510
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:14,700
of a dog with white paint

511
00:13:12,466 --> 00:13:16,533
and then we're going to make

512
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,500
some designs.

513
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:19,366
They will look more like those.

514
00:13:16,533 --> 00:13:20,900
>> Like these.

515
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:21,400
>> Mm-hmm. More colorful around.

516
00:13:19,366 --> 00:13:22,333
>> So we have the skeleton.

517
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:24,000
>> Yeah.

518
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,433
>> And then we have

519
00:13:22,333 --> 00:13:26,533
the brighter ones. Okay.

520
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,333
So let's do it.

521
00:13:25,433 --> 00:13:29,200
>> You're going to grab

522
00:13:26,533 --> 00:13:29,800
your white paint.

523
00:13:28,333 --> 00:13:31,866
>> Mm-hmm.

524
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,566
>> And you're just

525
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,466
going to make first

526
00:13:31,866 --> 00:13:36,833
something like this right here.

527
00:13:33,566 --> 00:13:39,400
>> Okay.

528
00:13:34,466 --> 00:13:41,700
>> So it's one long line with

529
00:13:36,833 --> 00:13:42,966
white paint and then another one

530
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,733
here but not together.

531
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:44,866
>> Not together.

532
00:13:42,966 --> 00:13:46,233
>> So here.

533
00:13:43,733 --> 00:13:47,733
So it will look more

534
00:13:44,866 --> 00:13:49,000
like a bone.

535
00:13:46,233 --> 00:13:50,233
You are going to add like

536
00:13:47,733 --> 00:13:51,866
a little dot here

537
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,400
and then the other side.

538
00:13:50,233 --> 00:13:55,266
>> Okay.

539
00:13:51,866 --> 00:13:56,566
>> Then you add another one here

540
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,433
and then the other one

541
00:13:55,266 --> 00:13:58,433
right there.

542
00:13:56,566 --> 00:14:00,233
And you're just going

543
00:13:57,433 --> 00:14:01,933
to do your best.

544
00:13:58,433 --> 00:14:03,900
Any mistake you do,

545
00:14:00,233 --> 00:14:05,633
we could erase it with black

546
00:14:01,933 --> 00:14:06,966
while it dries.

547
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:09,133
And then you could

548
00:14:05,633 --> 00:14:10,400
put more of that.

549
00:14:06,966 --> 00:14:11,233
As you can see in those figures

550
00:14:09,133 --> 00:14:13,000
right there, you have the bones

551
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,933
from the neck

552
00:14:11,233 --> 00:14:16,033
all the way to this part.

553
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,000
>> Okay.

554
00:14:14,933 --> 00:14:18,566
>> Yeah. Sometimes it depends

555
00:14:16,033 --> 00:14:20,133
what you want to --

556
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,466
Also, when you are

557
00:14:18,566 --> 00:14:24,066
making and painting all this,

558
00:14:20,133 --> 00:14:25,666
how realistic you want

559
00:14:21,466 --> 00:14:26,700
to make them or just, you know,

560
00:14:24,066 --> 00:14:28,566
and your idea how they look.

561
00:14:25,666 --> 00:14:30,200
They don't have to be the bone

562
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:31,600
exactly like they are.

563
00:14:28,566 --> 00:14:32,633
Now we're going to do --

564
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,766
The face is

565
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,100
the first thing that we're going

566
00:14:32,633 --> 00:14:40,300
to paint with some other colors.

567
00:14:34,766 --> 00:14:43,933
So when it comes to paint,

568
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:45,766
Day of the Dead dog

569
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:47,600
or a Catrina, we use a lot

570
00:14:43,933 --> 00:14:49,433
of the brighter colors

571
00:14:45,766 --> 00:14:50,266
you can find. Okay.

572
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,466
>> Right.

573
00:14:49,433 --> 00:14:54,500
>> The more you put,

574
00:14:50,266 --> 00:14:55,433
the more, you know,

575
00:14:51,466 --> 00:15:03,266
it will pop up and and look more

576
00:14:54,500 --> 00:15:04,533
beautiful.
