Heart in Hand Papercutting / French Ephemera

This artwork is handmade and hand cut using a variety of old papers.

The background is an old French letter and envelope with original stamp. The blue stamp was the inspiration for this piece.

The hand is the palest blue textured paper. Handwriting was on the other side, but not very pretty handwriting so I used the blank side.

The heart and the cuff are papers that I aged and watercolored.

Did you notice the ring? It is only 1/8” wide and was cut from a French bank receipt, I think.

The oval wood frame is one I found at an antique store long ago. It is 7 3/4” x 9 3/4”. I took the photo without glass but will put the glass back in when purchased.

It has the original little metal ring for hanging. Ribbon is not necessary, but I will also include coordinating vintage ribbon.
