“Sailor’s Valentine” • 
8″ square
“I started with a cigar box. I removed the lid and collaged maps, handmade papers, and tissue onto it. The background has a heart stencil over red paper. I hand painted the mermaid, the ship, and the water, and collaged the mermaid’s tail in various green papers. I added shells, sand, and sea glass for embellishment.”
