Cranes passing Fuji
For Our Midweek muse Inspired by Japan
He is my father, but he is no longer with us.
Before he passed away he gave me this bell. He said that when he was a toddler my grandmother, Ingrid, did hang it around his neck. They lived on a farm and that was her way to know where he was.
The sound of this bell is wonderful. Strong, yet brittle.
Ingrid, my grandmother.
For TAD theme Bell

oh wow! i love the japan piece which is what led me here, and i also love the memory of your father and grandmother and the sweet bell. how very lovely. and the canvas, too, what an excellent post today! xo
ReplyDeleteOh what a brilliant idea to put a bell around the neck of the little boys (who, after all, are forever into mischief) and what an awesome bell for the prompt. I can see a resemblance between you and your Grandmother ... very attractive. Too bad your Grandmother didn't have your awesome hat to wear :) Love the artwork ... simple but dramatic. I detect texture on the page ... is that the canvas or did you add it digitally? Anyway, lovely post ... enjoyed meeting some of your family.
