Day of the Dead Tote

First to recommend

Description

I really like the print on this tote, informed as it is by DIa de los Muertos. The cut and color kind of feminize it out of usefulness for most guys, but I can't really fault the designer for that. Vintage green lining on the interior, in addition to a zippered pocket, give the bag a nice touch of detail.

Dia Del Rey Kustom Elvis Bust

First to recommend

Description

A strange and wonderful take on customized Day of the Dead tchotchkes, this Dia del Rey Kustom Elvis Bust takes a kitschy item of Americana and reinvigorates it with Dia de los Muertos styling. Dia del Rey means "Day of the King," but I have to wonder what El Vez thinks about this.

Dog/Cat/People Day of the Dead Tag

First to recommend

There's no reason your pets shouldn't get in on the Day of the Dead celebration. This handcut Dog/Cat/People Tag is perfectly styled for Dia de los Muertos and is, like the name suggests, equally appropriate for dogs, cats, and humans.

Little Mini Vintage Tattoo Skull Necklace

First to recommend

Description

Informed by classic tattoo art and strongly reminiscent of imagery created by SF-based artist Jeremy Fish, this Little Mini Necklace takes the form and detail of a vintage skull and transforms it into pendant. The hand-painted acrylic piece is small enough at 1/2" to add a touch of inconspicuous character.

Mini Vida Altar -- Joann Vida

First to recommend

Description

As far as alters go, I'm way more for doing it yourself, but I like this piece a lot as crafty art. The 6.5"x6.5" mixed-media piece features clay sculpture and candles on a hand-painted wood canvas. At $70, it's worth bringing out once a year in October and November.

Dia de los Muertos Winged Skull Earrings

First to recommend

Description

Since I don't wear earrings, these are the last earrings I'm going to put on this list (probably). But I love the mixture of antique gold and the oddly shaped glass bead. Angel of Death comes to mind, but I imagine Dead Angel is a more likely intention of this set.

Feliz Dia de Los Muertos Wall Plaque

First to recommend

Description

Happy Day of the Dead! This 12"x4.5" plaque puts a sweet, homey twist on the grimly-themed celebration of your standard Dia de Los Muertos iconography. The wood itself looks raw and hardly touched, giving it a folky, found-material feel.

Barack Obama Dia de los Muertos Skull Pendant

First to recommend

Description

In November of this year, Dia de los Muertos will run right into the presidential election, which makes this Obama pendant perfectly appropriate. Sort of grim, sort of fun, the piece features a hand-printed reproduction of an oil painting by Chiapas artist Vale.
