Martha Stewart. And maybe not quite so goth as all that. My friend and I got together today to make sugar skulls. In Mexico the day of the dead is celebrated on November 1st with a festival of food and music and folk art, starring skulls, skeletons and and all the things they might like - music, food, laughter. In Andover, the sugar skulls are a lately acquired taste for me (not literally of course, they taste nasty and they get handled by everyone who wants to be a disease vector). I made up a bunch last year, and found it so satisfying, that I decided to do it again this year. They're just plain white molded skull faces right now, but I think I will take my art cues from the Mexican folk artists and lively them up with sequins and foil.
