Dia De Los Muertos - Day of the Dead

Title:  Day of the Dead Medium: Paper Mache Paint: Acrylic Coating: None Measurements:

This was made for a project in my American Religion class and was made in honor of my grandmother who passed away.  It was used in a class presentation on Dias De Los Muertos, The Day of the Dead Celebration which is still honored in Mexico.

This is how it looks after the mask dried.  The paint is Acrylic and it's design could be whatever the creator wishes it to be.

This is the finished product of the mask.  The feathers are the eye of Peacock feathers.  In the centerpiece, I used a faux red ruby to incorporate my studies of the asian religions regarding the power of the third eye.
