Mixed Media Abstract Hearts Made from Alpaca, Teeswater Sheep, Wire, & More!

These hearts in 9x9 shadowboxes are the latest addition to the "It's All About the Heart" Series. 

This is a couple in the Shadowbox series. They are full of color and joy! The organic pieces of art are one of a kind...just choose the one that speaks to you! They make wonderful gifts! They are ready to hang or display on a shelf or bookcase. The hearts can perk up an office environment, too.

Alpaca, Teeswater sheep, linen, paint, wire & more make a fun combination! The copper wire in this one represents an EKG of the heart.

"It is All about the Heart"

 The Heart...often when we think we are dealing with a person who has a negative attitude or offensive actions, we are actually dealing with a "wounded heart".

From reading a devotional by Jeffrey & Kathi Pelton, they posted the scripture, Proverbs 15:1 "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."  Check your heart before you speak...words are so important.  Are you reacting or responding?  We have to learn patience, endurance, self-control, and how to love.

May our words and our hearts be washed in His love and purified from ulterior motives.

This subject of the heart has inspired my new series. These mini mixed media heart collages are made with alpaca, Teeswater sheep fibers, paint, gold foil, and wire. Some are on canvas...some on wood...as you will notice, some are more abstract than others...what is the condition of your heart?
