About the Event
These mini matchbox books are so darned cute! We will have fun celebrating the Aztec/Mexican Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), a multi-day holiday honoring the lives of departed loved ones. In spite of the seemingly somber topic, it is a celebration that honors the dearly departed with joy and often humor!
In this 2.5-hour workshop, facilitated by our online host , Meryl Ann Butler of Ocean View Arts. You can create several matchbox books to use as collectibles, ornaments or gifts!
Several options of printable eight-page mini books are provided in the pdf handouts; just print out the pages you want:
Three Day of the Dead versions
One Our Lady of Guadalupe version
Three Winter Holiday versions (including Solstice, Winter Gnomes, and Madonnas in Art)
