Unusual Images, Lovely Sentiment

It took me a long time to understand that Day of The Dead was a beautiful thing.

In a country that is largely focused on youthful presence, it's exciting to see people honoring their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. This piece is almost done and is by student Elisa Regan who owns the Sacred Moondance Quilt Shop in Lake Forest, Ca.
