Altar Inspiration
When I posted about needing to find inspiration to redecorate my altar yesterday, I never realized that I would find some at my school.
The Latino/Chicana Association decided to decorate 5 altars in honor of Dia de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead). On display, were not only the alters themselves but poster boards with a lot of information about the day, the traditions and the meanings of the different items. I spent a lot of time looking over the posters, looking at the items on the table and then took some pictures.
I will post more about the day, the traditions and the meanings tomorrow.

Stunning. This is actually my inspiration for Samhain next year. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice, I love that skull vase
It is great to find inspiration in places that you didn't think you would. What caught my eye was the abundant use of bright colors. I love the colors!
Autumn - The vases (there were three) were what I noticed first. :)
It is extremely lovely, but I beg you, please correct the spelling of altar!
:)

These are not pictures of my altar. It is something that I found at my university in the multicultural center when I walked through.
Sure, go ahead and link to me. :)
As typically Mexican as these are, there is someting about them that reminds me of India.
Thanks for sharing them. And sorry for being so nitpicky.
Deborah - I think that it might be the colors.
No problem. Thanks for pointing out the spelling errors. I really wasn't paying attention when I was spellchecking and it was good that you brought it to my attention.
