Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and the Southwest. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. The celebration takes place on October 31, November 1 and November 2, in connection with the Halloween, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. That’s the basics.
Sugar Skulls and marigolds are central to the theme and along with painted faces and decorations, those elements make their way into jewelry. It’s time to reveal what we made for the Halloween/Day of the Dead Jewelry blog hop! sponsored by Suburban Girl Studio.
I’ve got cuffs! Lots of etched cuffs with sugar skulls, marigolds and bright colors.
All of the above were etched and colored by me. Colors are from Color Me This metal patinas.
In addition to the etched versions, I have some amazing glass sugar skulls from Torch by Night Lampwork. One is ring size and the other is cuff size. Both are on interchangeable Sirius System findings from McDuck Creations.
I hope you’ll visit all the blogs in this hop! Lots of creative minds have come together. You can find them here:
