Challenge #42

Day of the Dead/Sugar Skulls

 

by Janie Jones

The theme for October is “Day of the Dead” – Oh my!! Let’s make this an open Challenge … what might you conjure up to make, using any form of glass?

Here’s an example of skull beads, made using a graphite mold, so it wasn’t too difficult. (Whew!) Show us what you imagine for this month’s theme, and post your images in the comments beneath this post on our member’s Facebook page. Thank you for contributing too, it is always appreciated.

If you would like to learn more about Día de los Muertos “Day of the Dead”, it generally follows Halloween or All Soul’s Day. Here is a great article by National Geographic with some colorful images to educate and inspire!

Members can share your images on our members Facebook page beneath this Challenge.
