Dia de los Muertos

Day of the Dead

 

 

I love this Mexican celebration

that honors deceased family and friends.

Nov. 1 is All Saints Day

Nov.2 is All Souls Day 

 

El Dia de los Muertos

This is one of my favorite

pieces. I made it about 3 years ago.

It is loaded with fun stuff; milagros,

vintage plastic Christmas lights,vintage

miniature light bulbs from my Dad's

workbench, a dead and heavily

sprayed cicada ,vintage jewelry

and

a vintage toy toilet from the 50's.

The small skeleton musicians on top

are from a wonderful shop , Folk Tree,

in Pasadena Ca.

I am very drawn to this holiday

of honoring ones family members

that have passed on. It also reminds

us all not to take ourselves too seriously!
