Melange Team ETSY weekly challenge piece this week is the word "archetype"

An archetype is an ideal example or prototype of a person after which others try to emulate, a universally accepted symbol or the epitome of the best model. The archetype I chose to work with for this week's challenge is the mother figure: the protective nurturer and gentle provider. This is the piece I completed for the challenge. It is a collage highlighted with the Charlotte Gray verse, "Children and mothers never truly part ~ Bound in the beating of each other's heart."
