IT'S WRITTEN IN STONE......................" heart art "

Aren't hearts beautiful?

I soooo want to do this when we redo the downstairs bathroom - isn't it fun?

PINTEREST
I also love the idea of a painted heart right on the wall

PINTEREST
or photos shaped into one

PINTEREST
Anything with heart has got to be good, right?


I had black stones I used to keep in glass vases for decor....................

I also had a board I had created from pallets..............

Neither were being used - so I brought them both together for this project -

After dry brushing the pallet " frame " with white paint - I used " No More Nails " to stick the black stones into a heart shape.



I spread the glue with a paint stir stick and simply placed the stones over it - letting it set for 20 minutes or so





I placed the 2 miniature Christmas trees in galvanized tins from the dollar store ( the trees are from Ikea - 9.99 ) and will keep them up for Winter decor  ( maybe Spring, Summer and Fall too - I love them )


John says - What are you doing exactly ( as I was diligently placing the rocks on the pallet )
Suzan says -  Making art
John says - With Rocks?
Suzan says - Yup
John says - Well if you run out you can use the ones in your head
Suzan says - Is that you trying to be witty again ?


 ( Just in case anyone wants to know - the star is from Target )

So after this post was all written up - I realized I could use this black lantern - with cut outs on it saying
" JOY "  " HOPE " and " LOVE " when a tea light is placed inside.
Well, well, well - love would work perfectly with this, don't you think?

DIy Valentine's Art

Along with 2 wooden hearts my daughter Ashley made me years ago


And before I even realized what was happening - a Valentine's mantel was born
( I don't " do " Valentine's or Easter mantels - this one did itself lol - I tried it a couple of times in the beginning of my blogging adventure but it's not something I can really get into )


You can see the Valentine's Soda left for me last year HERE - she's one little talented fur baby !

Have a wonderful day y'all
Hugs
Me

  4. I LOVE this idea. Your mantel look sweet and the different 'mediums' for the hearts are perfect for Valentine's Day (or any day). The stone heart is an easy project and the No More Nails stuff is amazing. I've never seen it before. I hope you're keeping warm there.

  19. Love your stoned heart. Looks like you're getting all set for Valentine's Day.
    I have made different items using wine corks, so start saving all your wine corks and you can also make a heart out of them as well. :}
