These winged creatures of transformation, [...] come at a time when Mexicans express their heartfelt fears, joys, sorrows and hopes [through Day of the Dead]. The mariposa magically remind all that life and death are cyclical, one forms the other. Just as butterflies are sure to return each year, families, friends and loved ones will meet again in Mexico." -- Susan Rodrigues Our tiny Mariposa banners are a celebration of the ties that bind us with our loved ones-- in life and death, near and far.
