" La Abuela mi Amor" in honor of my grandmother Charlotte K. Diss ( Nov. 1 1908- Dec. 7, 2008). She is a true love and inspiration for me.

I choose a "dia de los muertos" folk art style to help my heart to Celebrate her passing.

The Veil is made up of photographs honoring her young flirtatious spirit adorned with milagros. The rosary was hers as a child.

The red lips represent her love of lipstick. "you are not dressed until you put on your lipstick"

The red roses represent the Virgin de Guadalupe one of my favorite images. My grandmother was buried on Dia de la Virgin de Guadalupe Dec. 12th.

This statue will be a wonderful addittion to our Dia de los Muertos altar this year.
