Mother and Child

One of my favorite Impressionist artists, is Mary Cassatt, the American known for her touching mother and child portraits.  I thought about doing a miniature pastel to fit in a tag to commemorate her work, but the size of a tag seemed a little intimidating for the subject.  Therefore, I hand cut a silhouette and framed it in a cameo styled mat with a hinge clip as a topper.



Can't wait to see the other team members' tags!  Thanks for all your encouraging comments last week.  Blessings!

    Your tag is beautiful- the hand cut silhouette tells the perfect story!
