Mito de la CreacionSiempre hubo tres.

Shedan, Hasor y Kryran habían existido desde antes que el tiempo mismo. Shedan era un ser sabio, noble y benevolente, distinguido entre los tres por su templanza; su hermano, Kryran, era en cambio temperamental e impulsivo, de carácter violento cuando se le provocaba; el tercer hermano, Hasor, constituía un punto intermedio entre los otros dos, y mantenía el equilibrio entre las tres deidades.

Sus hijos fueron los primeros en habitar el mundo, prosperaron y crearon los primeros tres reinos. Los padres disfrutaron largo tiempo la compañía de estos primeros hijos, los gobernaron afectuosamente

Dia de Muertosby ^Talty

Traditional Art / Other

I feel terrible for not uploading anything lately, but my stupid college is driving me crazy... I barely sleep, I barely eat, and I was sick for two weeks because not sleeping and not eating didn't exactly help me heal.

Still, I really wanted to upload this. I wanted to explain what an Ofrenda was, so I'm really sorry if it's too much text! I lost a few hours worth of sleep, but it was worth it. If you're lazy, just look at the pretty colorful images and skip all the ugly letters.

Only 5 more weeks and all my troubles will be over... if I survive 5 more weeks, that is. I'll come back with lots of new stuff, I promise.

Comments and suggestions are always much appreciated

This is beautiful and so are all the ofrendas. I'm really happy to have read this and am considering making my own. It's a sincerely sweet idea. :]

Thanks for explaining all this. Loved ittttttttttttttt

I think it would be great if you made one! We make one every year, it's a beautiful tradition. Next year I plan to make a polymer clay miniature one for Kuja, my cat who died earlier this year. I hate that you have to wait a year to make an ofrenda T_T

If you need tips or help let me know!

Aw, the poor kitten! I'm sorry she passed, but it's so great to have an ofrenda for her(him?). It's such a great idea. Smart to come up with a tradition like this :3

I'll definitely give you a heads up and ask you about it. I'd like to make one for my grandmother but at the same time one for Zero (my kittie I had to put down a year ago). That would be two huh?

Thank you!! Kuja was a male

but he the most feminine male cat I've seen, he was amazing and gorgeous xD

Well actually you can make one ofrenda for everyone. You make one "base" ofrenda with bread, candy, water, salt and some other stuff. Then you put a photo of each deceased loved one, a candle for each, and their favorite stuff. You don't have to make two, just put a photo of each

That sounds great :]
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

The kitten sounds gorgeous and awfully cute :3
