Ooooh that's a cool idea too!!

The lost art of the death mask The Western world was once obsessed with these macabre memorials.

The history of death masks stretches back millennia, deep into antiquity. Often created for elite members of society as protective armour that could help the deceased to navigate the afterlife or ward off evil spirits. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Clouds loom high over a distant lighthouse. A small sailboat passes in the foreground, and above a massive woman towers in the clouds, flanked by two owls. The woman is surrounded with pale drapery that mimics the color and shape of the clouds. She looks down upon the lighthouse and boat.
