Day of the Dead

  Just a week ago a friend of mine had asked me to make her one of my Day of the Dead dead art dolls.  One day later her Dad passed away.   I was shocked. 
I found it only fitting to start right away on the doll she had asked for.  If only to put a smile on her face but for a moment during this hard time.
The Day of the Dead is a celebration of life and death.  To celebrate they wore skull masks ( the skull signifies death and rebirth) and danced around the streets to celebrate the lives of their relitives that have past on. They did not fear death but felt it was only the beginning of the journey.
