From one artist to another … a blast from the past.
Someone stenciled this discarded heart-shaped piece of wood.
It was one of those thrift store finds that immediately got my attention and did not end up in storage. I cut and glued vintage china shards, pink iridescent tile, red mirror tile, silver tapestry tile, green glass gems, a couple of red glass hearts, red lips and finished it off with charcoal grout.
China Heart – sold
It sold the day it was finished. No regrets, except not keeping it. 😉
Charcoal was a good choice.

It’s magical when a piece of wood inspires me. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the objects gathered are still waiting for the rest of the story to unfold. You can’t force these things ya’ know. It’s a real thing. Serious business gluing random objects to an old board. ;)- we’ll see.
