Inspired by the movie Coco and our family heritage, I recently added this to our decoration collection. The sugar skulls are made from 1/4" aspen wood, spray painted before being engraved, the color really pops under the blacklight! I attached them to an old fence panel, aged and sunbleached for a nice rustic vibe.

Thanks!
It’s back now. 
Need to make some sugar skulls one of these years - they’re cooler than candy.

I’m a huge fan of Dia de los muertos art and Mexican folks art in general and this is great stuff. I love the presentation on the board too.

The detail is amazing! Did you do any weatherproofing to them? I always like the small details, too

Thanks! I didn’t do much waterproofing, one coat of spray polyurethane, but it is holding up well so far.
I have it hanging under a blacklight but I haven’t been able to get a good photo at night.
