Title: Las fallas de Valencia (Traditional celebration in the city of Valencia - Spain)
Post by: customklick on April 03, 2014, 14:10:14

Hello everyone, long time without posting, I've been too busy these months, I hope visiting the forum more often from now.

I'm not coming with empty hands, I'm bringing you one of my last works which I'm so proud of. Here in my country it's called "La ofrenda", the offering translated to english. If you're wondering what's it about, I'll let you a wikipedia link under these lines for more info :). Whatever, here there are some snapshots of my "Ofrenda" that I really hope you like it as much as I did making the diorama.

Therefore, I wish I could be more tuned to the forum and confering more contributions to it, so I'll try it. See you!!!

I saw your fallas ladies from an earlier thread and that was what started me off on my current customizing binge so I would just like to say thank you! 

Your creations are WONDERFUL!!!  :love:  A question on the big Virgin Mary, is her robe made from Playmobil flowers?

Again thanks for sharing and hope to see a real-life Las Fallas event soon.

Hi and thanks to everybody for all your comments. Sorry for my late reply, yes, the flowers are playmobil flowers and srucked with glue.

I forgot to reply to this at the time - it's amazing.

A friend from work had just been to the event, and he shared pics, it's spot on!

BTW, he loved the customs too :)
