Dia De Los Muertos Mirror

Scary Day of the Dead Art

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/dia-de-los-muertos-mirror • Posted by JamO

This mirror took some time to put together but after some etching a large piece of dichroic glass that I'd cut into a skull shape, I fired it onto some glass and made some fused embellishments to add to the piece. I then cut some mirror into nice big shards and leaded the whole piece, soldered and shored it up with some chicken wire and viola a really cool Dia de los Muertos mirror. It along with it's 5 buds were displayed at a Rock and Roll Dia de los Muertos Concert and auctioned off for a great cause!
