Tan Heart in Hand in Embossed Copper Frame folk_art_bird Please note the condition ofSome 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 with an oval opening. The heart and hand 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 photo
