Work, work, work

Here's Patty hard at work on one of several skulls she readying for the Dia de los Muertos altar ~



One skull is covered in hundreds of seed beads, with flowers in the eye sockets. As you can see, Patty is painstakingly placing sequins on the other skull. Can't wait to see the finished project.

Here's another skeleton mask and skull of Patty's ~





The bottom skull is covered in obits of Patty's dad that "for some strange reason" she saved over the years. Maybe that strange reason was to decorate an altar. Mmmmmmm, the mysteries never cease.

Finally, here's a photo at my attempt to make a skeleton for my sweet dog, Rusty, who passed away about four years ago. I still miss him. He cocked his head just this way when we talked to him ~
