Shrines and altars
i have long loved shrines and altars and have made many of them in my homes. as a child, we went to churches that were barren of any decoration, and i always wished that i could go to a church with lots of statues, candles, colored glass, and all the ritual. i also like shrines that are not necessarily of the Virgin. i like playful shrines, shrines for dogs, hindu shrines, dashboard shrines, voodoo shrines, and many others. here are some of the shrines i have made and others' that i like..

i love the home altars the best, these are what i have shown here. if you would like to submit pictures of your altars or shrines, i will do another post on this subject.
santeria altar is from
carolina gonzoles, the hindu altar is from
patheos.com., and sewing shrine is from
kathy cano murillo. if you know of the origin of the unknown altars, let me know and i will credit them.
