About 8 years ago, when I stopped making my Character Creations, I tried to start a new art business creating memory boxes for other people.  I wanted to take people’s vacations, special events, family or pet memorabilia and create a shadow box or standing box with collage and drawers for them.  I called this “Forget-Me-Not” and I had brochures and samples made.  One sample was for my daughter with items from her trip to Russia.  The business never took off.  But when I heard the Classics IV song, ‘Traces of Love’, I knew that it was perfect for the creation of a shadow box.  So I made a box with some of the items mentioned in the song—faded photograph, old love letter, ticket stubs, and a ribbon from her hair.  This is the type of box that I had in mind with Forget-Me-Not.
