Finding the figurine was easy ($1 at Goodwill). I searched all week for a vise to use until I finally just stopped at a local car repair and asked them if I could use theirs. By then, the light was fading. I asked my daughter to put her hand on the handle. I thought the barb-wire bracelet she had on would fit in well with the picture.

From reading some of the comments and seeing the 18-1’s, I guess some people were offended by my picture. While I do tend toward the irreverent, I do not intend to offend anyone with my ideas. This picture is NOT an attack on religion.
This picture is about Grace, whether based on a belief in God or in an individual’s belief in themselves. It says that Grace is sometimes the only and usually the best defense against the pressures put on us daily whether by external sources or (especially) by ourselves. I was trying to show Grace being maintained even under direct assault.
And, of course, humor will almost always play alarge roll in my pictures.
By the way, the figurine was not harmed in the making of this picture and it went back to Goodwill in the same condition it was when I bought it.
Anyway, no big deal. Thanks to everyone who left constructive criticism or compliments.
i shouldn't think this is funny, but i love it. i really like the old old old vise you've got going. i would have preferred seeing this without the foot and with very minimal amount of the hand showing (and not bracelets). otherwise, great!
