Two and half months ago...

This year I've had a lot going on.  One of the biggest happened on May 14th, when my two year old niece died suddenly and my little sister fell off a cliff and died.  Overwhelming is an understatement.

My mom had a thought of my sister Marie sitting next to my niece Gwenyth on grass, waiting for Jesus to come take them to heaven and asked me to make it out of clay for her.  I think I did a good job, but it does make me sad to see it.

  1. I like the way that grass looks. Also the "prep" picture is very artistic. I'll have you know I think about Marie and your family a lot.

  2. Oh wow... I'm surprised at how good of an appearance you've managed to keep up despite all this.

    Your clay work is always really superb, but this is so much more than that. Especially knowing the story behind it. I think your mom will love and cherish this; anyone would.
