First look: votive bone ring

Remember those carved bone rings I showed off a few days ago? The first ring-book is now complete.

dia-votive-ring-1I’ve decided the edition of 6 will have a Dia de los Muertos theme because 1) I live in the Southwest, 2) I’ve adored ‘Dia’ celebrations since I was a kid in New Mexico, and 3) It’s getting to be Halloween time, folks!

Colors and materials inspired by Moroccan and Latin-American textiles. Gray-tan linen pages are accented with red cotton edgings and rainbow ribbon applique (in a quiet homage to the Pulse nightclub attack, and in solidarity with my LGBTQ friends).

dia-votive-ring-1-openEach book will have a slightly different closure mechanism of shell, bone, and leather. Each book will be Coptic-bound in red waxed polyester cord, with carved bone and glass-accented tassels.

‘Dia del los Muertos Votive Rings’. Edition of 6. Dimensions: approx. 5″x1.5″x1.75″. Materials: carved bone, leather, shell, glass, cotton, waxed polyester cord.
