The Book of Ruth

I picked up an unusual two-loaf bread mold in an antique store. This item suggested the subject for a collage on the Book of Ruth since it takes place mainly in Bethlehem (literally, "House of Bread").  Each of the four panels represents a chapter in the book.  Doing a collage on a surface that simultaneously curved in two different directions was a challenge but gave an interesting overall effect.
