Loving Mummies



This is some serious TLF- Italian archaeologists found the Roman-era couple at a depth of about 10 feet and they are thought to have been buried between the 5th and 6th century A.D. The woman looks as though she is gazing at her man. She is wearing a bronze ring. I wonder what that ring looks like? Perhaps Bittersweets will have to make something that would look like a Roman mummy ring.

Foundry



Almost never put up pics of yours truly, but I found this old photo from my first foundry job (Hi Modern Art Foundry in Astoria!) that my sister took. We were obligated to wear steel toe boots of which I could only get in the smallest boys size- still 2 sizes too big for my absurdly small feet. It looks like I'm going to fall over frontwards! Still, one of the best jobs ever.
