Dia de los Muertos Wood Burned Art
 
The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration. A blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture, the holiday is celebrated each year from October 31-November 2. While October 31 is Halloween, November 1 is “el Dia de los Inocentes,” or the day of the children, and All Saints Day. November 2 is All Souls Day or the Day of the Dead.
 
I wood burned this lovely lady with my Optima II burner. Then I used a variety of materials to bring her to life.  I first used watercolors, then colored pencils, then gold glitter, and more acrylic paint, then chaulk for the feathers in her hat. A sawtooth hanger is attached for easy wall installation.
