DAY OF THE DEAD skull headed folk art doll (#66) in black, white, yellow skull-print cotton print with applique felt face and features, accented with embroidery and a couple of fancy black vintage buttons from my collection. All hand-made, painstakingly hand-sewn, each one is Unique. My initials are embroidered on the reverse.
In the middle ages, people thought the more time you spent thinking about death in this lifetime, the less you'd have to spend in Purgatory in the next -- here's hoping.
