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.

I like it, too, Karen, but especially the story with the collage...the combination is intriguing, and yes, sad...and good.

Makes think me of parchment and leather and hidden treasures.
