Art work- Holding Camino memories a Camino fire Ball

Time of past OR future Camino
Several alone and with children
Years ago I fell in love with this artist's work, Eva from Fireball Firepits. I had a dream of hiring her to capture the Camino I did with five of my children in 2016. It took me a few years to plan, desire, and financially pull off, but in these past few months I have what I dreamed of . She creates fireballs/fire pits out of steel that resembles mooring balls. I call mine a mooring ball out of convenience, but it really is not, though some artists do use mooring balls.
Eva, the owner of the company who made mine saw my vision, even more than I, I dream art, but she took everything I imagined and ran with it.
It arrived a few months ago on a truck and daily I have wanted to share it and life gets away from me...
Before its arrival Eva sent me a link from an interview she did, I got a sneak peek of my ball in the background.

Time stamps: 1:06 and 4:05 show my ball

My Camino is now captured in my yard as the ball is here. Dear Eva added so many touches to it, the Milky Way is within the art and our whole route from Le Puy to Muxia is captured in the tentacles of an Octopus. The details are amazing, and no description can do it justice.

I thought I'd share for other art loving pilgrims, and those who, like me, needing to still live Camino memories in such a fashion from home...

Weeks went by with it in my yard before I realized (captured in this second picture) that Eva incorporated my forum Profile Picture Avatar, drawn in 2012 by my youngest daughter when I went on my first Camino on the ball.!!!!!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
