Focus on: Unexpected Hearts

Finding hearts, not Valentines.


Challenge number 5, from Sally Russick of the Studio Sublime is: Capture our Hearts. She asks us to look for heart shapes that we might otherwise pass by in daily life.

I found a few...


 One was the handle of an old milk crate. 







Another was part of the wire work of an old planter basket.






But the best one was at the tip of the remaining hand of my rusty, dusty grandfather clock face. 








Once again, I love this guy!


I can't wait to see what everyone else has found. You can too at The Studio Sublime.

    1. Lori, I thought about using the hand in jewelry, but I didn't want to take the piece apart any more than it was, and also, it's really soft and fragile!
