Bone Women Mini Collage painting I selected and hand cutThroughout Iceland, cairns mark the way, over mountain passes, across the moonscape of the interior, through the frequent lava wastes. Travelers have used the paths for centuries. When a snowstorm overtook a wayfarer, a row of cairns could save a life. Cairns were sometimes called bone women, or beggar women.'
