i am in the midst of the hustle and bustle of preparation for one of my favorite times of year-dia de los muertos and halloween. so many projects-so much fun!
i am doing 3 altars this year-one at hollywood forever cemetery’s annual dia de los muertos “altar offerings”, one at ten women venice, and a very personal one right at home. (which will be dedicated to the “patron saint of reckless 21 yr old boys”)
i have a number of gallery exhibits i will also be in-which are on my website. i am especially excited to have been juried into the 2009 sacred memories exhibition. sacred memories opens at the pico house gallery at el pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument on October 21 and continues throughNovember 21, 2009.
i used vintage linen -filled with lavender and lemon verbena to create my “huesos perfumados” (sweet bones).

I can smell the lavender from here. Such meaning and richness go into each piece. I laughed when I read that you were dedicating one to the “patron saint of reckless 21 yr. old boys”. Good choice and congratulations on the honor.

You certainly live a busy life! And the “huesos perfumados” look very intriguing. This all sounds very good.
And since you are making an altar for “reckless 21 year olds”, I take it that your young man is doing much better?
I sure hope so.
