Double Woven Hearts in Embossed Metal Frame wedding Subject: hummingbirdSome time ago, I bought several antique frames and daguerreotype cases. The cases had come apart, so I decided they'd make beautiful frames for love tokens. In this instance, I used the interior, embossed copper frame and glass. The woven hearts are usually made from aged, stained, watercolored paper. Sometimes I print copies of 18th and 19th century letters on the papers that I age. I used a bone ring to the back for hanging. See 2nd photo for
