Here shown with a light shining behind it.
Many years ago Francie Stull ordered this for me, made by Terri Miller.
Francie waited for me to come over to USA and pick it up. It followed her to Kentucky when she moved there and back to Texas when Francie moved back to Kristull Ranch.
Thank you Francie for keeping it safe for me all these years 💖
It finally reached it’s home, in Sweden when my girls Kristull Idle Threat and Kristull Figment arrived from Francie in October 2015.
The oil painting above, as well as the stained glass ornament was done from a photo I took that day, that photo is still my favorite photo of Lizzie.
Lizzie (Starcastle Hounds Firelizard), 10 months old.
The ice on Mälaren is behind her, icicles in her face.
My favorite photo of Lizzie of all time.
It was a glorious day, Jan 6, 2002.
Lizzie was 10 months old.
The Baltic sea cuts deep inland north of Stockholm, we call that place Mälaren.
It was approx -10C, the sun was shining and the ice was thick.
The iceskaters were out in the hundreds that day, when they came skating past us in large groups they made the ice sing like whales.
I had one of my best friends with me that day, Malin.
Malin was bi-polar, she got worse over the years and ended her own life a couple of years ago.
But that day was a happy day!
A perfect day.
A perfect memory…
Lizzie looked a lot different in her twilight years.
