DAY OF THE DEAD #51 folk art skull-headed doll, this one is made with scraps of a fleec-y print blanket, applique felt face and features. All hand-made, hand-sewn, individual, Unique. My initials are embroidered on the reverse. In the Middle Ages, people thought the more time you spent in this life thinking about death in this life time, the less time you'd have to spend in Purgatory in the next.
