I rescued a whole collection of dried seahorses from my mother's 70s bead collection. They've spent the last thirteen years safely sequestered in a silk scarf with the rest of my . . . odds and ends. When I unwrapped them, these two fell out intertwined. They seemed so frightened to me, clinging to one another. It was the perfect sentiment for this, so I grabbed my glue and set to preserving their embrace.
(Rereading this it sounds so incredibly cheesy. But then, what is art if it isn't a little cheesy here and there?)
