When you went to heaven you took my heart with you….

I made this Tuesday @ A Work of Heart in San Jose, Ca. It is a really fun to make piece. It turned out that my really old friend was killed not but a few weeks before. So this is what came to mind. “When you went to heaven You took my heart with you!” because it reminded me of the experience of losing him. The techniques:

Some are from the Chicago Retreat (Cloth, Paper Scissors). They are having another one!!!  The backround was paper afixed with Gel matte medium It is from Jane La Fazio’s class. I love this technique of taking pieces of paper & shredding them then arting them up…..

The heart is a carved piece of floral foam. Idea from Kelly Rae Roberts book Taking Flight. We then cover the floral foam & wire wings with plastic cast material. The wings came from the same book But, a differnt project.

I then stenciled the paper with paint & various other stamps , etc….. before attaching the heart with wings to the canvas…
