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

Miles and Miles and Miles of...........heart

Good morning everyone!
First I'm going to make you a cup of tea

hearts, teapot,

1 lump or 2 ?

sugar, shape, hearts,

Ok - here you go -

Heart, teacup, tea, cup and saucer, heart shape

You can sit over there - here's a pillow to put behind your back - get nice and comfy

heart, embroidered, pillow, white,

You've never seen anything quite like this collection ( cross my heart )

art, heart, collection

A little music to accompany the Heart Museum?

Every night in my dreams

heart, key, holder,

I see you

heart, bowls, white, porcelain, shape

I feel you

heart, shape, butter dish, white, porcelain

that is how I know you go on

heart, shaped, candy, dish, silver

Near
heart, stone, black


Far

heart, decoration,

wherever you are

rocks, shape, hearts, natural
I believe that the heart does go on

heart, amber, paperweight

Once more

glass, hearts, ornaments, paperweights

you open the door

tin, heart, flower holder, metal, shape

and you're here in my heart

willow tree, statue, angel, heart

and my heart will go on and on

heart, pill box,
Love can touch us one time


and last for a lifetime

two hearts, wall, art,

and never let go till we're gone

heart, ornaments, red, striped, metal,

Love was when I loved you

heart, pink, candle

one true time I hold to

silver, heart, jewellery, box

in my life we'll always go on

heart, red, ornaments

you're here

willow tree, boy, gold, heart

there's nothing to fear

heart, decorations

and I know that my heart will go on

silver, hearts, necklace, pink

we'll stay

marble, heart, white

forever this way

white, heart, serving, platter, plate

you are safe in my heart


and my heart

cut glass, heart, candy, bowl

will go on

heart, stones, wall art, silver frame

and on

woven, heart, decoration

and on
