What a lovely idea, and so pretty for a framed work of art. It would be fascinating to cast them in bronze or some other medium and use them as decorative garden accents, too.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-2298531002530172852011-11-28T08:32:40.468-06:002011-11-28T08:32:40.468-06:00Very interesting.
