Abby and I participated in Mother Henna's Day of the Dead Blog Fest and Artist Trade. We both had so much fun working on our pieces. Day of the Dead became a tradition for us when we lost our daughter/sister Nora.
Abby loved painting each of her pieces, and I loved using photography as my medium. We especially enjoyed sitting together, remembering our loved ones while we worked on our Day of the Dead pieces. Together our family set up Nora's ofrenda including Day of the Dead art that both kids have made throughout the years. We cannot wait to include our artist collaboration pieces from this event, everyone did such a beautiful job!!
Thank you to Mother Henna for having such a wonderful event for a very special day.
I encourage you to find out more on Day of the Dead and set up your own ofrenda. It is a very special way to honor and remember those who have gone before us.

What a fantastic thing to do together to remember sweet Nora.
Can't wait to got my package in the mail and see the pieces close up! z
What an amazing way to celebrate and honor and create together. I'm moved that Nora is so richly part of your lives, and that you and your daughter share the truth of this -- with each other, and with all of us.
Beauty and Blessings,
Jane

What a neat project to do together. I got my box yesterday and love both pieces! My hubby was particularly drawn to your pieces with the funky pixle skull! Very cool!
