Dia de los Muertos

Here is a close up shot of the photos. Love this tradition. It is said to be an insult to your dead to approach the altar with grief.

I wish I could say this project was my idea but it is not. I saw a similar one on line somewhere. Anyway, I'm having so much fun making it. My father in law gave us this big bottle he used to make his homemade beer in. The markings in red show the recipe. I think it makes it cooler!

I'm not done but couldn't wait to post. My husband is at his parents house today and I hope he brings me back another rosary or two. I re wired one rosary with crystals. Then made my own with the pink stones. I have some trading beads I'm wiring today.
