Aqua Heart in Hand in Embossed Copper Frame Pink Subject: lilacs in transferware vaseSome 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. In this instance, I used the interior, embossed copper frame and glass. The woven hearts and hands are usually made from aged, stained, watercolored paper. Sometimes I print copies of 18th and 19th century letters on the papers that I age and distress. I used a bone ring to the back for hanging.
