I made a Sugar Skull Wreath.

I have been fascinated with sugar skulls since first saw them, perhaps it was my inner Mexican showing itself. I visit dollar tree every week to see what new things they have acquired. On my recent trip I came across a few sugar skull signs and bought one. I also bought a wreath frame, some purple fairy lights and some mesh rolls. Using ribbon and mesh I had from home I constructed this wreath. wreath.jpg
I know I should name her but I'm having trouble. Any suggestions?

Here she is lit up.

I have about $12 dollars in her but I'm happy with my pretty girl without a name.

You still looking for a name for her? What about Lillibeth? Dunno why, but that's the name that popped into my head when I saw her. She is glorious, @hezziebees

Yes! I shall call her Lillibeth Fiona! Thanks for the input!

It looks intriguing... What is a sugar skull? I'm guessing it has something to do with Mexican folklore (I loved the game, Grim Fandango which had a great deal of Mexican folklore influences), but I'm about to go on stage, so I can not look out up!

she looks wonderful! I love the use of the black ribbons, because to me it looks like hair behind the mass of ribbons. You should try making actual sugar skulls. I did it one year with my roommate/best friend (who is Mexican) and there are kits you can buy online to make them! They're pretty simple, and when they're finished you can paint them as well! They were so much fun and great for party activities.

I'm googling them now. I didn't know this existed!

I really like the colours and style, it is both pretty and intriguing.

That is just stunning! And lit up makes the beauty more enhanced. Good work! Did you paint the wood? It is amazing!
Would also love to see a how to post on making these ;)

I'm loving this. This is what you call Happy Halloween...haha

That is so pretty! You did a great job, and now Lillibeth (a perfect name that @fionasfavourites devised!) is ready for Dia de los Muertos! Thanks for sharing her with #steemitbloggers 😊

"With bony hands I hold my partner,

on soulless feet we cross the floor,

the music stops as if to answer,

an empty knocking at the door.

It seems his skin was sweet as mango,

when last I held him to my breast,

but now, we dance this grim fandango,

and will four years until we rest."

-- Tim Schafer

That's pretty good!

As for a name - I'm terrible with coming up with witty titles so I can't help you on that one! LOL
