Mixed Media
The cutout on the far left is a tiger and it's matted on a gold cardstock. Pieces of gold leaf was placed
around the butterfly and the heart shaped card to unify the color "gold". The background was built with collaged vintage chinese papers and on the opposite side, pages from a poem in English.
