The Museum's Our Lady of Guadalupe Restoration Project

The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious tracts also has other odd and kitschy religious artifacts (e.g., A Spire Christian Comics spinner rack was recently featured on this site). This statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the museum's most beloved objects. Around 2006, I saw it at one of the swap meets that line Alvarado Street in the Westlake/MacArthur Park area of  Los Angeles and had to have it. It has a rotating interior light that illuminates the red and yellow background. I friggin'

love it!

The problem was when I shipped it to Ohio, I didn't have the original packing Styrofoam that came with it and my packing job was substandard. The statue arrived in Ohio in several pieces. For the restoration project, I had to create some support armature (thank God/Goddess for Flex Glue).  The job is almost finished and all I have to do is a bit more sculpting and painting.
