I am deeply thankful to everyone who participated in the Summer Show by helping me along the way, specially to Stephanie Gagos for inviting me to her group where we can meet other artists, sharing our art with the world.  To the beautiful people who left likes and hearts and to those who took some of my paintings and art dolls home.
It has been interesting the response I get when it comes to the Dia de Muertos Sugar skulls, they are decorative and colorful but there is more to them, a deeper meaning for me which I will share with you in here. 
I have been making Sugar Skulls painted faces with polymer clay for many years to celebrate life and to honor my family traditions.
When I was growing up in a small town near Mexico City, I used to help my Nana Maria with her Ofrenda/Altar for Dia de los Muertos, the day of all souls. At this time of the year, we would be shopping every day for sweets, fruit, chile/mole, flowers and colored tissue paper to make "papel picado praying flags" to decorate her table in honor of our dear departed, in celebration of their life because It is a day of honor and remembrance.
Nowadays, I keep small altars at home and also create my little sugar skull figures with the intention to continue an old tradition.
Some of my Sugar Skulls are supported by painter's old brushes and wire whisks, Of course not too many people like to have a "skull doll" around the house but during Halloween and Dia de los Muertos they become the focal point in many altars.
