Well its that time of year when you might be thinking of building an Alter. Its the biggest Celebration of the year in Mexico. The first picture was my Gallery in Yakima Washington. I am proud to say I started that annual tradition of celebrating an exhibit for Dia de los Muertos in the city. It has grown to being many years now. The second is the community alter I built at the Met in Fresno. They have also carried on that celebration. I see it as being a visual history to all, especially our youth. It celebrates the lives of our loved ones and heroes. One could be made to the 19 firefighters who lost their lives this year or to our local fallen veterans of this year. Sometimes we forget after a person Passes and this gives us a time to reflect an honor them thru our hearts, minds and soul. Here are some ideas I have illustrated using Boxes draped with colored cloth, with Lace over them or cultural blankets with articles on top of them. The articles may be pictures of them and their favorite things. Offer them a glass of water or wine, some favorite candy or sweets. A candle to show them their way to you. I included samples of what you can do in your homes with a table, Dresser tops or your front windows for everyone to see. Its a celebration of life, enjoy life everyone.
