sw2 3448 Ash Rubbing

Rachel photographed my old friend Bella Vendetta at our west coast SW event in 2006.

The cuttings- which were done approximately five years ago by Brian Decker, were rubbed with ashes from Bella’s mother. She had this to say about them:

“One of my favorite pieces and one that means the most to me, are two deep cuts on my ribs. Kind of like gills. They were very deep cuts and I had my mothers ashes rubbed into them so she could be with me all the time.”

You can read Bella’s blog at IAM.BMEZINE.COM.

More after the break. (Click read more about it!)
