This is Zoe from Sktchy drawn in Procreate. Today is the Day of the Dead or Dia de Los Muertos to give its Hispanic name. I’ve always been attracted to the colourful sugar skulls that are traditional symbols of this Mexican festival but I also love the idea of celebrating the lives of deceased relatives so the festival resonates with me on a number of levels.
I draw a portrait of someone in sugar skull costume and make up most years but this year I’ve also been crocheting along with a Day of the Dead crochet-along (or CAL) created by @theguywiththehook. You can see my finished mandala below and you can find the pattern on Ravelry.
Omg!but what a nice drawing! Before opening the post I thought it was a photo, but this super cute!And you know, I didn’t knit, but I’ve never seen anyone weave with a day of the dead.I would definitely use it to adorn my table during those times.Thank you for sharing! I have a blog of Mexican crafts, if you like you can visit me and follow me n.n Love.Gala- https://handicraft.market/
