Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Dia de los Muertos Milagros: Corazon Magnet

Milagros: Corazon is part of the Milagros series which is inspired by the wonderful milagros charms on a lot of the folk art in Mexico. “Corazon” is the Spanish word for “Heart” which features prominently in this painting. With a  Dia de los Muertos theme, this lovely girl has several beautiful charms adorning the heart, and she has some traditional Calavera face paint on.  Milagros charms are typically tied with a person’s name, with the shape of the charm indicative of the healing/prayer wanted.

Each 2" x 3" magnet is laser cut from a 1/8" thich piece of birch wood.  We then print the art directly on the wood and pass the piece through a UV coater before having a magnetic backer adhered to the back of the piece.
