For a year, for an entire year, he wrote to her every week, beginning his letters with "Ma chere Marthe" and ending, always, with "je t'aime." And then, the week he was supposed to depart from that dangerous and foreign land, he disappeared. And though she waited for him until she was old and withered, she never heard from him again.

wonderful piece but so sad!
Absolutely wonderful! I love the composition, the rich colors and the type overlaying. All works together perfectly! Can you make prints of this? Will it be for sale?
The layers and overall work is wonderful, but yes, such a tragic tale.
Very nice, except I wanted to see it even bigger!
I like it, too, Karen, but especially the story with the collage...the combination is intriguing, and yes, sad...and good.
beautifully rich and nostalgic.
Makes think me of parchment and leather and hidden treasures.
I love this piece...it's so evocative! I really love your stenciling too!
I just found your blog through Carla's Sacred Life project and will be back again to have a closer look.
