A first for me...

Here is something I have been wanting to make ever since my mom gave me this tattered antique blouse, it had lovely lace and I could just see myself making some beautiful piece of art with it.  So, here is the painting that did not look just right to me on it's own, decorated with the aforsaid lace, pretty little miniature bought at Ismailovski park market in Moscow, some P&P quotes and my daughter's favorite: a tiny letter with a real wax seal that took 6 tries to get perfect.  This was a really fun project to work on.
