Bob's Coffin Easter 2018
Following my coffin building in 2017, I wanted to build a coffin for Bob, as I feel that if I have created something beautiful and meaningful for my death (see Nov 17 post on this blog), then I should create something similar for Bob, especially as we will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in August.
The designs I used are drawn by Bob and used for making stained glass windows and hangings - and the butterflies are added as butterflies have become important in our lives because of Bob's pivotal role in the building and running of the
butterfly house on Bribie . The coffin is covered in calico, and the mysterious green strips hanging out of the sides can be used as handles.
The design on the top is used in the window above our staircase - and the three parts of the design correspond well to the words on the top of my coffin: Awareness - It Is As It Is; Awe - Wonder at the Mystery of it All, Acceptance - All is Well.
