Baru's Heritage Series items are designed from actual photographs. The 1st in the series is from a photo of her dad, Bud Forell, in the saddlebronc riding at Kansas' Biggest Rodeo, in 1952. Bud was a multi-event cowboy whose rodeo career spanned five decades. He won the 1955 Kansas Amateur Rodeo Ass'n steer wrestling championship. Several items using this photo are shown on the Earring/Pendant & Buckles pages. The items taken from this photo are stamped on the back with 'BF 52' for 'Bud Forell, 1952' in addition to the production number, year and maker's name.
The 2nd of Baru's Heritage Series items uses a photo of Deb Forell Christy, the 2007 Nebraska State Rodeo Ass'n & Mid-States Rodeo Ass'n barrel racing champion. In appreciation, Triangle Cross Quarter Horses, Norton KS, owned by Deb & Steve Christy are sponsoring pendants for the '2008 Finals FAST TIME' in the barrel racing for each association. Baru thought it only fitting that the image on the pendants feature Deb and her phenomenal horse, The Chocolate Dash in their championship run at the 2007 NSRA finals. All items made using this photo are stamped on the back with 'DC 07' for 'Deb Christy, 2007' in addition to the production number, year and maker's name.
