while I am busy making
jewelry for my
show in December,
I am dreaming of being in Taos
to celebrate
Dia De Los Muertos
or the
or the
Day of the Dead...
Taos captured my heart
long ago
long ago
for its simple loving vibe
but no one does
Dia De Los Muertos
like
I attribute that to Robert, his love
for the community and his way of
bringing everyone together...
I have been privileged to
have participated in two of the
7 annual shows
and they are always outstanding...
to see this years
amazing show go to
if you can get there,
let me tell you it will be a party...
a healing celebration...
like the spring grasswe come only to sleep,only to dream...it is not true,it is not true,that we have come to liveon EarthAztecSong
here is a photo of the gallery
and the
Dia De Los Muertos
show
the show centers around Dennis Hopper
an icon
who lived in Taos, died recently
and was
buried in Taos...
but there are other pieces
and shrines as well...
this piece below is sold
it is by Father William Hart McNicols
and it was sold before it was finished
I hold Out My Hand
Robert Cafazzo is the owner
of Two Graces
and he did several pieces for the show
which you can see on his blog,
but this is my favorite,
below,

Dia De Los Muertos
isn't creepy or morbid,
it is a celebration
of the life of the ones we
loved so dearly
it is joyous
and bittersweet
just like life...
celebrate!
