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!

I don't send out many cards, but my daughter loves to get mail. So I had a little free time this week and painted this little valentine card. So I put it in the mail and sent it out to her for Valentines Day. I hope that it gets to her by Valentines Day. We took our son out to dinner before he went back to school. I didn't think he would appreciate a handmade card from Mom, but I know he appreciated being taken out to dinner!

Hope you get something special from your special Valentine!

Happy Valentines Day

"Valentine" 2/14/2008 ~ bsm

We made valentines at school today. High school students really get into giving valentines. I thought my students who were finished with their cubism projects might want to create some valentine cards for fun. And yes, they really had fun with it. A lot more fun than I expected! And that's a good thing! Its not always easy to please high school students!
