A Leftover Heart.
Wanting something quick and not wanting to delve into my emotions tonight, I decided to collage a bunch of stuff sitting around my desk. I started with a purchased wooden heart, added some craft foil I'd been playing with (the rounded shapes were made with my new dap tool - here's a picture). I had saved the used tissue paper just for this type of purpose. There are some metallic paper towel pieces from dabbing off paint before dry brushing and a straight pin I found on my table. I've included the painted contact paper used as resist in Hearts # 27 and 28 and snippets of some of my threads from my jar (I put my thread clippings in a jar when I sew). It looked very messy and jumbled, so I topped it off with a dusting of my new gold mica powder (that was NOT a leftover).

Hi, DeBee. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It's January 10th! I hope your day is filled with love, good wishes from family and friends, joy and creativity!
Thanks, Fannie! I have a busy day at work, then an appointment, dinner and shopping with my younger daughter. It occurred to me yesterday to do something unique today at work... with time short I couldn't do much. I did find a Ratatouille ring toss game on clearance. I'll have it for fun in my classroom today. (I teach high school graphic arts, not little kids, so this will be different!)
Sounds like a fun day! Enjoy.
I think this is close to what my heart really looks like on the outside right now... Just giving a clue to the fun, clashing, wild party going on inside. :)
