In 2006, a local family lost their house from an electrical fire. My husband, who is in the Rural Volunteer Fire Brigade, rescued some pieces of a broken bowl as the brigade was helping with the clean up.
I resurrected them in the form of 2 interlocking stepping stones, augmenting the existing pieces with plain colours to highlight the quote from Shakespeare on the original bowl that now appears along the top edge of the top piece in the picture ... 'If music be the food of love, play on.'
Fortunately, one of the angels playing a trumpet and the words were relatively intact so the integrity of the original bowl lives on.
The stepping stones were delivered as a gift of hope to mark the resurrection of the new abode which would eventually rise out of the ashes of the old.
