Today is Dia De Los Muertos. If your not familiar with this Mexican tradition it can seem really strange. I like to think of it as Mexico's version of All Saints Day. A holiday dedicated to remembering family and friends who have died. This tradition is all about the artisanship of sugar skulls, yes I know it sounds creepy, but I think it is inspiring and beautiful too.

| Marigolds the flower of Dia De Los Muertos |
Marigolds are the traditional flowers used for this festivity. Traditionally one would create a center piece of photos, favorite indulgences, flowers, and sugar skulls to a family member who has passed. It is a beautiful remembrance. It may seem strange if your not accustomed to the tradition, but with a little curiosity you will see there is much beauty and artisanship behind this festive tradition.
