Grave Discoveries

Here are some more gravestones. These are from Falmouth and Penryn.

Sacred-Penryn

"Sacred" -What a great word to desribe the memory of someone that has passed away. The font and scroll work are fantastic.

RIP Grave Falmouth
Ooh this one makes me giddy. It is not the image or words this time but the metalic RIP against the moss and aged stone.

Skull and Cross Bones Penryn
I love this gravestone,with the skull and cross bones being framed by stone drapes. There is something comforting about this no nonsense image of what is below. Mid 18th C. With all the time in the world I would like to make a long black skirt for "Day of the Dead" with a ruffle on the bottom being pinned aside to reveal the skull and crossbones.
