very heavy weight canvas

Really a terrific object that would be great on the desk sitting atop incoming or outgoing mail

not visible from the front and it still sits flat

Now on its own it makes for a super satisfying little architectural object I think

and I love how much seeing so many different shades of gray together

Bluebirds Over Heart Inside Garland, 19th C. Watercolor with Embossed Gold Foil Diecuts garden of eden very heavy weight canvasA lovely, happy thing, surely made as a token of love or friendship, with this pair of crossed bluebirds over blue heart suggesting a very "true blue" bond. And then an embossed foil die cut that looks to me like a boy pouring oil into a lantern, so, one presumes, to keep the flame forever burning. And a harp and horns, too! All wrapped up in a watercolored flowering garland. True love forever, so nice. Framed, as found, in a period frame. 3rd quarter
