The Secret Admirer Lilacs I will make some loveI have saved this beautiful, gilt, Florentine triptych for a while. Finally, I decided to use it for a love token. The heart and cuff are made from aged, stained, watercolored paper. I used an old brown dust cover paper off an antique print for the hand. The background paper is from a 19th century French letter. The tiny ring is a shimmering gold metallic dot on a narrow band. It was cut from paper that was on the back of a Florentine picture frame.
