Sunshine

The haiku was found in a tiny pocket edition of "Walden," by Thoreau.  It's collaged with teabags, handmade paper, old music and cheesecloth.  The cheesecloth and the book were also tea-stained to go better with the old music.

the haiku reads:

music at sunrise
expectation of the dawn
does not forsake us

What a fascinating composition this is Kathleen. Very imaginative use of the printed word and music. I am mesmorized

Kathy
Your combination of sheet music, cheese cloth and words have tempted me to try out your formula.

Kathleen, I really like the subtle colors of your piece, and the use of actual music in your collage makes it even more interesting.
