I.F. farewell

I recently read about a culture that when they said farewell to their dearly departed, would place blue stones around the body to protect it from evil spirits. Blue stones are much cooler than they used to be.



Created for Illustration Friday's word O the week "farewell."

    Fantastic! Has all the solemnity of a king in his final resting place, and those blue stones are really cool.
