"Roots of Mercy"

We've had this piece up in front of our house for a year plus.

The cast iron is getting a nice patina.

I now have all the photos I need for my Ancestry Preserves project. I want to can my loved and lost. I will fire a print of each individual onto a sheet of glass and then seal that in a bottle along with peaches, jam, etc.

One of my favorite images, the little girl is Ina Lizzie, my great grandma through my maternal grandfather.

I will select out the busts of her parents for their jars.
