Dia de Los Muertos fashions

Dia de Los Muertos -Day of the Dead

Actually two days, November 1&2 of each year are very important holidays here in Mexico. Ancestors are honored with gifts on home altars and parties in the cemetaries.

There is also quite a bit of artwork devoted to the creation of skeletal figures made of wood, plaster, and various other materials. The figures can be human or animals. The variety is incredible and most frequently show the figures having a good time or doing routine daily chores.
