The second of the four Dia De Los Muertos blocks that I am assembling:
I must admit, these have proved to be very difficult for me. I really don't know much about the holiday, and I do not celebrate it, so I don't have the right mind set to be creative. I am sure these blocks will need more stuff, but I am waiting until they are put together. That's my excuse, anyway. The fabrics are too busy for much embellishment.
This is my pinata. It may still need a stick for hitting. The silk ribbons at the top are supposed to look like streamers.
The tatted cross is the same one, in a different thread, that I made for my last CQJP block. It goes together pretty quickly and is a nice little cross.
This skull is made from an Embroidery Library download. The velvet ribbon is hand dyed and the flowers are from Offray.
I am very open to suggestions on these blocks. Ideas?
Your block looks great and the skull is perfect for the theme.
