Who made this
Eleivae made this in Lille, three days after Julien, the younger was born. She has five children, including Julien, the younger and Matthias. She has also lost Thridel. At Thridel's funeral she said: "I'm going to miss that, the way they made room for the hard parts of us without pretending they weren't there." This is one of three pictures she has made.
