Expanding the Labels

I visit burial grounds for the markers as much as for the people so I have expanded, and back dated, my labels to tag not only where markers are located and the names carved into stone or pressed into concrete, but the artwork that adorns them.

For easy location, the terms related to marker decoration all begin with "art:" or "sculpture:" like my "surname:" label. Another label is "cross:" and will be used for both art and sculpture with the styles defined. An additional new label is "photoceramic" which is explanatory in itself.

Labels I will be adding as well, are related to grave style, like wolf stones and bed cradles, and what markers are constructed of.

I hope people find the labels useful, and fun, for finding out what art and what art styles enrich the markers of my corner of Saskatchewan.
