Be Still My Heart shadow box

Size: 9" x 7"

"Be Still My Heart" shadowbox is made with handmade paper, butterfly wings, embroidery on silk, antique white heart beads, hand marbled French paper and a wooden shadowbox frame. I wanted to express the feeling of flutters in the heart when one falls in love, how gardens blossom from our inner longings and how fragile it can all be. Take care of your heart and the hearts of others.
