I am really impressed with Art of Skulls Dia de Los Muertos inspired designs.
You can see a variety of her work on Flickr and they are available for purchase on her Etsy site.
I love these little skellies (I feel that’s the best word to describe them) from Altered Boxes:
Her work makes me want to delve in more box/diorama/curio cabinet crafts.
The altars set up for Dia de Los Muertos are often intricate, elaborate works of art themselves:
One day, I WILL attend a traditional celebration of this holiday.

If you get a chance to celebrate the real “Día de los Muertos” celebration, you should go. I make my own alter every year and I think I’ll visit Hollywood Forever Cemetery this year. http://www.ladayofthedead.com/
I would absolutely LOVE to attend a Day of the Dead celebration. I did recently visit the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (I can imagine they throw some great events there). I’ll be in New Orleans for Halloween this year, so Day of the Dead will have to wait. Can’t get enough of the art though!
I like your photos, I´m from Mexico. If ñyou want to attend a really beautiful day of the death celebration, como to Tepoztlan, in Morelos. In Mexico. The celebration is really amazing here. regards
