Okay let me just say Skulls are not creepy!!!!!!!! They are facinating, each holds a unique beauty......then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder:)) I personally believe everyone should own at least one skull in their lifetime!!!!!!! I mean come on it can be a freakin' candle skull..........you do not have to go out and dig up a grave to get one......or take someone out for a skull.....now that would be a bit creepy!!!!!! I collect skulls in all shapes, form, and fashion.....recently I have started really looking at sugar skulls......Dia de los Muertos ( Day of the Dead) the history of the Day of the Dead is a very interesting holiday celebrated in central/southern Mexico....usually during the chilly days November 1 & 2. Sugar art was introduced to the New World by Italian missionaries in the 17th century. By the way Sugar skulls represented a departed soul!!!!! The departed's name is written across the front of the forehead, and placed on the home ofrenda or gravestone to honor the return of a spirit.
Check it out for yourself some folks say umm isn't that taking a walk on the Dark side? Nope in my opion just opening yourself up to some cultural history, and a different way to look at Skulls.
