Heart in Hand on Blue Background paper_collage This handmade quilt is made

This handmade quilt is made from all cotton: cotton front

I’ve scavenged old boards and wood blocks from the barn to make country village houses

The last photo shows other available love tokens

so I began with the dark roses print in the center

I always hand cut my hearts with big utility scissors

Heart in Hand on Blue Background paper_collage This handmade quilt is madeSome time ago, I bought several antique frames and daguerreotype cases. The cases had come apart, so I decided they'd make beautiful frames for love tokens. The heart and hand are made from aged, stained, watercolored paper. Sometimes I print copies of 18th and 19th century letters on the papers that I age. Such is the case with this love token. The tiny ring is a shimmering gold metallic paper it's about 1 16th of an inch wide! Lean this lovely
