My Aunt Elsie was the artist in our family, and she could create the most beautiful pieces of art out of all types of materials. Years ago, she collected lovely crystal brooches from the 1930's and 40's, and put about 50 of them together to make a lovely Christmas Tree mounted on wood.
Her passion was tole painting, which involved small-detail painting on wood. One of my favorite pieces is this red heart, delicately decorated with these small designs. I hang it up every Valentine's Day in the family room so we can all enjoy it. I remember her in so many ways.
