    I've started on my sugar skulls, but after watching a DVD on Day of the Dead on an island off Mexico I am looking for metal skull shapes for pouring the mixture in.

      I just got some great plastic molds online and it only took 2 days to get them! I got them at www.mexicansugarskulls.com

          Rock on, thank you-- just occurred to me to mention that my altar has taken to hiving off a bit: I found an old Samsonite overnight case that will be set up as an extension to the tryptich (sp?) I have currently. Traveling was big on my dad's side of the family as well as cribbage, this will be an interesting one this year.

            I spoke with an aquaintance that visits Mexico every year whom spoke of a group of islands in Mexico whom are famous , or are at least renowned, for the sincerity of their celebration en el Dia de Los Muertos... though, I forget the name of these/this island[s] and was wondering if they were perhaps the same as the ones you spoke/speak of? If so, would you mind passing along their name or region's name to me? It would solve a long queried question. (btw: you wouldn't happen to know who directed "HOLY MOUNTAIN," woud you? or anyone else perhaps??)

            ((( cheers )))

              Do you mean this film?:
              www.imdb.com/title/tt0071615/

              If that is indeed the one you mean, the director is listed just below the title.

              The island is called Janitzio en el state de Michoacan,,,,
              this is the same state that has the sanctuary for the Monarca Butterfly...
