Tomorrow is a big day for me and many others, as it will be "Dia de los Muertos". I'm going to light the altar for my sweet Gypsy cat, and spend time with her memory. I felt honored this year that so many chose my art to decorate their altars in memory of their pets that have passed on. Since I lost my kitty this year, I took comfort in creating these pieces for others, as though we were joined in our grieving. I hope and imagine that Gypsy has many furry friends to play with in some peaceful place. :)
I leave you with my newest paper doll, "Frida"! I had to create her, since I love Frida, and think she was such an amazing woman. She's hanging with me in my studio right now... ;)
I hope everyone has a good Day of the Dead celebration tomorrow!

Dia de los Muertos is such a beautiful holiday.. the art is amazing!
I still wanna see what you and Dave dressed up like this year!! Love your costumes!
I have a pet cemetery nearby my house that I will be posting about this month and I thought of you and sweet Gypsy girl. Thank you so much for all the beautiful art you create, Leila! Wishing you a New Year full of magick and wonder. And a big kitty nip kiss to your fur baby.
Many of my Dead speaking up this year, wanting to make sure they were included on my Altar... Yet it brings peace, to know they are still with us, that their love is still here, surrounding us. I hope you found the same :)
