I've been published!!

Busy...busy..busy...

Dia de los Muertos came and left so quickly I didn't get the chance to comment on the shows or share the pictures.  Both the show at Say Si and the Mercado were so much fun.  The weather was beautiful and the crowds were steady.  The Dia de los Muertos procession downtown was amazing!!  The large skeleton puppets danced through the cobble stone streets of the Market Square followed by dancers carrying marigold glowers.  Almost everyone had there face painted like a sugar skull or wore large hats adorned with feathers like la Catrina.  I did post pictures on Facebook but here are a few:



This year's Dia de los Muertos events were a lot of fun!  Can't wait till next year.


Changing the subject...

I am happy to say that one of my necklaces, "Leaves of Fall" has been featured in Bead Trends Magazine November 2011 issue!!  To celebrate I am having FREE SHIPPING on my website through the month of November.

Here's the necklace that was featured:


The necklace is made with Turquoise stones and reconstituted slabs of Amber and is available for purchase on my website.   I would like to thank the editor, Tatia M., of Bead Trends Magazine for considering my necklace for the issue.

Dia de los Muertos just around the corner..

With Dia de los Muertos just around the corner I have been in full speed create-mode!  I'm vending at two Dia de los Muertos shows this week.

The first show, DIA DE LOS MUERTOS CELEBRATION, is this weekend at the Market Square (downtown San Antonio).  The 2-Day show is going to be a blast!!  Live music (BOMBASTA, AZUL, MARIACHIS, etc), a dance procession, Day of the Dead fashion show, and local "artesanos" like me!  If you're in the San Antonio area stop by and say hi!



The second show I will be at is Say Si's 5th Annual "Muertito Fest" next week.  It's a fun-filled 3-Day event.  You can find more information on my website.  I will post more info here on Monday.

In the meantime, here is a sample of some of my new Dia de los Muertos artwork...enjoy!
