Getting ready for Halloween already? 

[Sea Mac]

  No, I think that's an Altarpiece ....

Anyway, I like the spider to the side of the right eye.

My guess is that it is a sacred Scarab ...

Hum, now that I took a closer look, it does seem to only have 6 legs.    Yes, more beetle like. 

[Sea Mac]

LOL!     

I call them as I feel them ... those were just my interpretations.

On a related note, where I live, the south-west US, they celebrate both Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos. They set up alters with stuff like that skull above. Both holidays have been kind of combined into what they now call "Dias de los Muertos". Now the parties start on 31st October and go on till the 2nd of November. Any reason to party. I guess.   

My wife asked me to help her make a paper version of a Dia de Los Muertos for the bulletin board in front of her classroom  at the local high school where she teaches. I try to post it here when we are done with it.

Pretty cool drawing. Yeah Dia de los Muertos comes here too, theres a big festival downtown. Its a pretty cool deal I think, very interesting holiday.

And we here in the Extreme Southwest also have a dual holiday for Days of the Dead.

A few Miles south is Tijuana: and a few miles west is salty and wet and deep all the time. I'm about as far southwest as you can get!

Happy Columbus Day and a Blessed Samhain to all of you ...

Thanks guys. I tried to post the pics of the skeleton people, but they blew the thread out too wide. Just too big for the frame.

sorry to pul up this old topic.....but....i wanna know how that skull worked out...noone noticed that it is a water vaporizer. i have an identical skull and it makes a sort of atomized fog with a supersonic piezoelectric(i think it works along those lines) and i was actually considering using it to increase humidity before i saw this image. now i am sold. it takes pure water, so its not like a chem fog or co2 like dry ice gives.

how did this work out for you?
has anyone else used this, or a similar device?
i guess if left on too much it would induce induced rot because the fact of the fog being visible indicates that the humidity is > 100%, it condenses very readily.

i am about to buy a kratom tree and i think it would work well for that also.
