Heart Art in February

I love Hearts.
I don't know if you can tell by my art, but I love hearts.  99% of my art has some type of heart somewhere on the piece. Not in a mushy sort of way though. I'm not all hearts and butterflies and rainbows, although I do like them. I just like the shape of the heart and love to add it to my art, kind of as a signature mark to my work. It can mean so much to many people. And making art that is meaningful is what it's all about, right?

I love to create.
So I love to add the heart to show that love!

I've been working on making some small hearts for magnets and pins and ornaments for Valentine's Day. I am always making heart magnets and ornaments, but I'm not great at planning way ahead to have all of this ready to really make a big marketing push. So I only have a limited amount of heart pins and magnets available. I don't really want to use Valentine's Day to mass produce hearts, as I am usually working on some other projects. If I have any available, I will have them listed in my Etsy Shop.  I will list them as I have them available.

So, between now and Valentine's Day, I thought I would share a few pictures of what I've been working on over the next couple of weeks, and maybe even some Heart Art created by other artists, that I admire.

Hope you enjoy!

Countdown until School is Out for the Summer!

Letter Heart Magnets

...11 more days with students (I'm not counting the weekends!), plus 3 days after that for teacher in-service and wrapping up the school year.  Seniors finished up their tests earlier this week, so it has been a little quieter around the school.  So I am ready for summer break to get here so I can get started on my 'to do' list.  Each year I make a list of things to do. Some get done, some don't, because the break goes by so fast! And next year we will be starting back to school a week earlier, so the break will go by even faster!  But, I plan to use a lot of my time working on art projects and getting my studio re-organized.  It looks like a hurricane went through it. Maybe I will post before and after photos! We'll see.  I have several things to list in my Etsy shop. Mostly little houses and little heart magnets. I paint letters on the little hearts and put a magnet on the back.  I'm going to list these in my Etsy shop as soon as I can.  I will be taking special orders for these as well.  So if you see a color or design that you like, but need a different letter, just send me a 'convo' through my Etsy shop or my Facebook page. I will be happy to make you one or several!


Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
