Happy Valentine's Day!


DOUBLE HEART WITH KEY

Well, I did manage to make quite a few pieces to sell for for Valentine's Day, unfortunately I only had time to list a couple on LSF, a commission for LaloBean came in and my niece's wedding preparations took precedence.  Oh well... and so it goes.  It's alll gooood! I know a little better how to relax while still being vigilant no - odd but possible.

ROSARY HEART 


**ORDER EARLY FOR MOTHER'S DAY**

Rosary Heart is a poem and story of Love in itself. ..

I made this heart in layers, first placing a delicate layer of 100% gold leaf over a polymer clay heart in such a way as to make it look slightly distressed and crackled. denoting time and wear. Next I painted a very fine live Victorian fluer de lis style vine - making sure to connect it on the back and front of the heart - symbolizing constancy and continuity. By pairing this beautiful heart with a vintage 1960s green glass rosary and a small golden key - the story wraps up on a note of sacred hope, faith and understanding how to keep real Love alive.

Measurements:
Pendant 2"x2" (5.1cm x 5.1cm)
Rosary: Adjustable from 20" to smaller lengths

Makes a great gift for anyone to whom you wish to express how sacred their love is to you. An especially significant piece to give. The story of how the piece came to be made and what it signifies, printed on a small card will accompany it in a lovely gift box.
