¡Bienvendio! Welcome to the Dia de Bloglandia~an online celebration of the Dia de los Muertos! This traditional Mexican event takes place every November 1st and 2nd ,the Days of the Dead, when the souls of the departed are believed to return and join their families and friends in the land of the living. It is a religious and social event in which departed loved ones are honored and remembered. I have chosen to do the same with both my relatives and that of my husbands. They are the departed relatives of my son, Andres, who shares a rich ethnic background with them including a Mexican and Peruvian ancestory. My husband kindly built me a small Alter/Shrine in the form of a "Casa" to house three dolls I made for this post~ with each doll representing a part of my son's Mexican Heritage ~the traditional Catrina Doll, artist Frida Kahlo and the Virgen de Guadalupe.
Enjoy this visual tribute :)
