Description
[ID: Image background is white. The Virgen is drawn in a teal-colored silhouette with a teal cloak embellished with yellow stars; standing on a yellow crescent moon and brown hands displaying the artist’s signature handshape “ilyLA”. Below the Virgen is an angel with a decorated skull, grey wings below arms; arms spread open holding the Virgen’s cloak. Behind and around the Virgen is a black web decorated with the shape of rosary beads. There are three crosses at three points of the web: the right and side of the Virgen’s body; and one above the head. Below the angel are green stems with thorns. Further below are roses with different colored eyes inside them (left to right): brown, purple and blue. There is one green leaf on both sides. At the top corner in black font reads: Blanca Altamirano @ily_LA12x]
