  1. You have created a M A S T E R P I E C E! Your strong central image and the background pattern conjuring up rich life giving blood supplies.

    1. OMG...the music box is perfect! I was reminded of the motto by which Katharine Hepburn and her family lived. Inscribed into the mantle in the family home were the words "LISTEN TO THE SONG OF LIFE". I even made a collage about these words and it was published in a Somerset Studio magazine years ago. I should dig it out and post to The Kollage Kit someday!

    2. In fact LISTEN TO THE SONG OF LIFE would be a perfect alternate title for your work of art.
