headstone rubbings....

some headstone rubbings taken from a wicked old cemetery in bethlehem ct~were i grew up this was my first attempt at doing something like this~a few things i learned~ bring bigger paper~
bring bigger crayons~do not bring your friend who does not like cemeteries :)
these stones are over 200 years old so some of the images were hard to capture you can see the urn and weeping willow~ the very dark one is of a flower that the 7 year old found~funny his rubbing the flower looked like a tulip facing down~but mine came out very different~i wish i took pic's of them both side by side so you could see how very different they came out~
the actual stone is what i really wanted~ i have been in love with that stone forever~the date on the lower right hand side is 1775~233 years old! i love the shape design and color of it~i am going back to do another rubbing of it~better equiped~the three of us had a long day and were tired when we finally got here to do this ~it was a good day tho~and to do the rubbings was pretty cool i really want to get most of the head stone and frame it :)
