Saturday, February 05, 2011"My Youthful mates both small and great
Come here and you may see

#9 Savoury Saviours
Thursday, February 03, 2011Had this news article hanging around for a few years about things -mostly food- people have seen the face of Mary or Jesus in. Lots of info about it all inside the envelope -Pierogi Jesus sold for twenty eight thousand dollars. Thrown together quickly but makes for an interesting read.

Sunday, January 23, 2011
Collage of a few photographs taken over the past year.
On the front...
"At Rest" Antique Coffin Plaque from my collection.
Handshake Headstone Symbol taken at Potts Empire Loyalist Burial Ground -this one in particular is a man and woman based on the different sleeves which represents holy matrimony.
Mary in Multiples, honestly I cannot recall the name of the Cemetery where this was taken.
Background Photograph is of stairs leading to the basement of an abandoned building in the country. I placed a photo of an empty Grave from Oakview Cemetery over the stairs, there's a deceased Raccoon on the landing.
She mulched the family plot to protect her roots -piece from a poem I wrote.
On the back...
Animal Vertebrae found during one of our Burial Ground ventures.
