This blog is about Day of the Dead folk art and current culture in America, it also contains artistic ideas that are not related but inspired by the Mexican Holiday. It’s not a traditional blog on the subject and contains other things people may perceive to be related. Day of the Dead ( Dia De Los Muertos ) is a celebration that expresses a strong sense of love and respect for deceased family members and the continuance of life.Tumblr (3.0; @-dayofthedead)http://dayofthedead.org/<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lty5lantbw1qhwkmwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dayofthedead/Ieig/~4/iOaGXe57KYs" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dayofthedead/Ieig/~3/iOaGXe57KYs/12255306825http://dayofthedead.org/post/12255306825Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:37:45 -0400http://dayofthedead.org/post/12255306825<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu0q6lHN351qdm9pxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://chelseainc.tumblr.com/post/12231763221/calaveritas-cantoras-dibujadas-por-mi" target="_blank">chelseainc</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Calaveritas cantoras :) Dibujadas por mí.</p> </blockquote><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dayofthedead/Ieig/~4/sliAo3S7W6A" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dayofthedead/Ieig/~3/sliAo3S7W6A/12254416498http://dayofthedead.org/post/12254416498Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:18:17 -0400http://dayofthedead.org/post/12254416498<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu1xnzrA0s1qct12io1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bitchasscassy.tumblr.com/post/12254240740/to-those-ive-loved-and-those-ive-lost-te-quiero" target="_blank">bitchasscassy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>To those I’ve loved and those I’ve lost- te quiero tanto y te veo pronto.</p> </blockquote><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dayofthedead/Ieig/~4/xyE7xiHpKHU" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dayofthedead/Ieig/~3/xyE7xiHpKHU/12254280359http://dayofthedead.org/post/12254280359Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:15:19 -0400http://dayofthedead.org/post/12254280359<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu0v6cQinB1qa2wbzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://orchis.tumblr.com/post/12252111517/those-are-clay-skulls-sugar-skulls-some-candies" target="_blank">orchis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Those are… clay skulls, sugar skulls, some candies and sweets, some random toys-tinguies, and delicious pan de muertos. :3 We’re supposed to offer food, too… but we don’t have much space.
