Sugar Skull Stretch Bracelet

The Sparkle Factory
One of my favorite holidays is Día de los Muer- tos, the Mexican Day of the Dead. My favorite place to get inspired for this special holiday
is Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles. In Octo- ber and November, the tiled walkways of this vibrant street become a kaleidoscopic shrine to the afterlife and celebrations of loved ones departed and eternal love. Everywhere you look there are colorful Calav- eras, sugar skulls, and marigolds, all symbolic of this delightful holiday.
