A heart for Valentine's Day


I don't usually think much about Valentine's day. (The people I love, I love every day of the year, and I always try to show that). But as I'm seeing a lot of hearts in blogland, I thought I would post this pic. I just love it! Leslie is very talented in many art mediums. This cloth just makes me want to do some wabi-sabi stitching with cloth . . . and the hand stitching! . . yummy! But I don't want to put my hands into too many "pots" right now. Tumblr is a kind of fuel for my artistic eye . . so MANY techniques (wood, cloth, metal . . with so many non-traditional and innovative ways to create using them) out there that are so seductive!

  4. J- thought the heart from ragged material was quite apt - often the commercial types try to portray life and love in smooth shiny terms but in reality perfection is not experienced by most of us and being a little raged is both real and comfortable. Good piece. B
