RE: Amigurumi #141: Máscara de La Diablada - parte II / Mask of La Diablada - part II

I love to read about the historical and mythical background of your creation. And I can understand your search for roots - behind the Christian period - because Christianity changed so much in many countries. Often it is tough to find older layers of cultural remains like dances, images, stories as they are transformed so much through the Christian lens.
Your keyholders are so detailed with the horns and the big teeth and I love the high contrast colours you used. Both transport the historical background so well (now I have to research the dances you mentioned)
Thank you for sharing this <3

Hi, in Peru we have many dances. Even in schools and universities there are folkloric dance competitions. On the other hand in America or "The New World" we know little of our ancestors, we still need to dust off that link, that real connection with their people. Keep up the good vibes!.
