Heart Box Studio

So many beautiful hearts.......

Thank you from the very bottom of my heart to everyone who came out on Saturday for The Artful Heart event. It was such a dreamy, magical day, a day I won't soon forget. To all of the amazing people who came and helped prepare, cook, hang, sell, share, greet, love, hug and hold......your love is a light that shines in my heart.

Let Your Love Grow Tall

This week I have been working feverishly to prepare for a holiday art show/sale I will be hosting in a few weeks, alongside my lovely friend, artist Marla Fry. It is a treat to be able to do this with a dear friend who has been such a huge inspiration to me. I highly recommend you check out her beautifully painted recycled windows.

I have been using some odds and ends that I have been collecting for the past few years....lots and lots of recycled vintage items like buttons, ornaments, earrings and brooches.

I have been using old Ball jars to create some sweet little gifts for the show. Here's a few sneaks at the finished product:)

I am making a few other items as well, but I thought it might be fun to do a step-by-step on how to use old, vintage items to create your own special gift for the ones you love.

Step One:

Make something beautiful from your heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Two:

Make lots and lots and lots of love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Three:

Make one ginormous mess to clean up much later. Much, much later. After tea and cookies and a long phone call with a very dear friend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Four:

Find one, lost, discarded or forgotten object in which to place all of your love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Five:

Place your love into found object.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Six:

Watch your love grow......

 

Because beautiful things grow with Love.......
