My sonYears ago I started
My Book of the Dead
to try and work through with some of the grief I was experiencing.
While it was more of a scrapbook than an art journal, it gave me great comfort
and I'm thinking I should work on it some more with all those that have gone on since I did these pages.
father
best friend
a sister I never knew.
Kind of like paper alters.
While I have made many alters since then to celebrate the Day of the Dead, these were my first attempt to honor those who have gone on. So now I will use what I learned and know to be true about connections and really celebrate all those that I love with a special Dia de los Muertos party this year!
Keep watching!

Waitta minute!! This wasn't here last night!
Oh, how precious these are. I can see Donnie's personality so much in that photo! So easy to love...so hard to loose.
And your Daddy. How I dread that day when it will come for me.
I can't wait to see what you do with these with all that you've been garnering along the way here.
So many der ones you´ve lost. These pages looks beautiful. And what a PERFECT idea to make a precious, personal book of the ones that are no longer here!!
