Hello to You and November 2022,
It’s the rare cloudy drizzly morning here in Novato, California. No one wants to go hang crystals with me so, we are in the studio for now.
Today my work table has most of my Dia de Muertos items on it. The last years shrines took up all the surfaces in the studio but today, I fit most of it on one table (it’s a 10 ft long table).

I haven’t taken as much time as usual to set up and add littlest details but I have added my recently passed loved ones names. It’s true, I cry every year when I set it up seeing everyone’s names and pictures. And again, I cry when I pack it up.
There are a few new pieces that I collected this year. I’m adding the pictures below.










That’s it for my shrine this year. Still adding names but probably should look for a way to keep adding names on a scroll maybe? I have been collecting names for the ddm for about 8 years.
In other news, I finished my Starry Night!!

Thanks for checking in! I will be back soon to share SF Open Studio festivities coming up!!! Another art party at ArtfuseSF on 11/11/22!!! Much more of my work including Starry Night will be there!!
