Beaded Skulls-My Inspiration to make my own design---an example of my skulls are on the bottom ...not finished
–The Huichilos are a
West Mexican ethnic group who are world renowned for their beaded art. The collection is clearly inspired by the Day of the Dead festivities in early November. This Mexican holiday is the day people remember
their departed families and friends. Although All Souls' Day is largely a
Catholic observance, equivalent celebrations occur in other cultures.
The craftsmanship of the 15 vibrantly colored and patterned beaded skull decorations is just exquisite. No two skulls are the same. The hand beading is done on a layer of wax.
Skulls look a lot less
menacing (or human) if you just add some intricate bead formations to them!
These beautiful beaded skulls are created by the Huichol people of Mexico and
stand as not only art but a piece of history of the Huichol people.
