Maybe this could have been the tin man's heart in the Oz stories... A lust for rust, yes, that about sums it up, thanks for that, dear Lynne. <br /><br />And again thank you one and all. It simply amazes me no end that you good people have found your way here, and that some of you even come back more than once... I am very lucky indeed. When I started this blog going on three years ago, it seemed like about the only way I was ever going to share any of my work, such as it is, with a wider audience.

I sure want to reach out and touch it, but the images are so tactile I am satisfied. The whole gate (or whatever it is welded onto) needs to be preserved too because the scroll work is gorgeous. Is there a process available that preserves rusting items from decaying further?

I think it probably once had a ceramic surface on it, with writing memorializing the person(s) buried there, but the ceramic surface probably fell off long ago, leaving the metal support. I will post a photo soon of other hearts from the same cemetery which still have the ceramic surface on them. In fact, if you click on "Cemeteries" in the index list at bottom right on this page, and scroll down through past posts, you may be able to find some similar hearts, if my memory serves me well (which it might not at my advanced age...) :-)Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-74370100713046442912011-06-11T14:59:26.713+02:002011-06-11T14:59:26.713+02:00The progression through your photos led to a wonde...The progression through your photos led to a wonderful surprise... a heart so lovingly decorated by nature.
