As the time grows near, the veil is thinning...for us to gather in the candle light together and share our art and stories of Dia de los Muertos and sit in their loving memory...I surround myself with my own stories and images that gather in the Mango Studio.
On Tuesday, Nov 1st please visit me and Rebecca...leave the link to your Dia de los Muertos/ Dia de Bloglandia post in both our Mr Linky's and leave a comment on both of our posts.
Then settle in to visit each and every offering, share with each other the beautiful stories, ofrendas and artwork in this Dia de los Muertos.
I hope to be able to get something together this year. Regardless, I will most definitely be visiting all those that participate. It is always special to remember with love in our hearts those that have passed before us. Enjoy your continued preparations.
Peace~
Dawn

Nice skull. You always have the most vivid colors. I need to learn to take better pix. Have a great day.

dear friend,
i am reminded that i met you because of dia de bloglandia!
by opening that one door, when the veil is the most transparent between the seen and unseen worlds, we have a deep rooted friendship that has taken us to san miguel to walk arm in arm in the panteon together.
i am so honored to move through the seasons of the living with you!

It's not an altar, but my 20 x 30 photo canvases of Day of the Dead dancers have been exhibited at my local bank for the past 11 days.

Everything is always so beautiful here, especially in the Autumn. I think that the Marrigold must be your very favorite flower. I love the shot below of them trailing across the bricks. And I cannot believe all the snow you got, I hope you got all your vegetables, and flowers harvested in time!
