Love's Sweet Sake Posy

Hand stitched the "rose" made with Chiffon from France.  Used Utee to make the leaves.  Covered the cone with vintage sheet music (100 years old).  Hanging from the bottom is a vintage petite point  necklace.

"Often people attempt to live their lives ...."

Such wisdom!

Used texture medium and a plastic doily to create the background.  I then scanned it and blended it with this vintage image and the quote. A page I will use in my quote book.
