heartstone


Life is so funny!
I went for my (fairly recently) regular pastime of walking the limestone pathway down the river and around the coastline of our town yesterday, and I stopped at my regular resting place down on the stoney shoreline (no sand on our local beach!). My son's mp3 player had just gone dead, and I didn't bring a book, so I stared at all the stones on the beach where I sat. I thought to myself "it would be cool to find an interesting shaped stone." I looked, and there, just sitting there, was this gorgeous little heart shaped stone! It is just so perfectly a heart that I had to bring it home and treasure it!

Now I have to decide how to put it in some suitable artwork that will do it justice!! Any suggestions?

This may not be the answer you want, but I would keep it as it is!! But then I have a glass jar full of different pebbles, that I have collected .I would love to find a heart shaped one, how cool!

Now that's serendipity at work!
I'd keep it as is too. Perhaps put it on your altar (if you have one) or just in a pretty dish. I put glass and stones in little dipping dishes and place them near plants, etc.

The photo is beautiful. perhaps you could print cards from the image.

Oh lovely stone. I would wrap it with wire and hang it on a pendant to wear - so as to remind me of the peace and tranquility of that day :)

What perfect manifestation! I usually take things like that as a message from the Divine, and what better item for such a message than a heart-shaped stone.

Why not make it a focal image in a shrine?
I'm off to my local Iron Age beach to see what I can spring up now.

This is too wonderful!!! How big is it?? Could you do some sort of 3D thing with a human head and torso and put the heart inside their chest? Just a weird idea from another self-taught mixed media artist!! By the way....HOWDY!! I've been meaning to search for you!! I found a comment of yours on someone else's blog! Don't know if you remember me! We were members of the same Yahoo art group, but I had to leave! Hope we can stay in touch!! :-)
