Love is Everywhere


Each morning we settle in for the same breakfast.



Boiled eggs, toast fresh fruit and coffee.



A few days ago I took out "the mutant" boiled egg,



you know the kind that mysteriously ooozes out of



the shell during cooking and makes it harder than h$#!



to peel......... when I cut it open there was a lovely



surprise inside................................

heART Chunky Book


Fresh with renewed inspiration, this is my entry into my latest swap! I am taking part in a Chunky Book Swap at my favorite local store, Frenzy Stamper (a link to Debbie's fabulous little store is on the right sidebar). Two of my very favorite icons and imagery are by artist Peter Max and Italian designer Piero Fornasetti. So I combined both for my heART contribution. The main rule was that it had to include a heart of some type. Nobody does hearts better than Peter Max, in my opinion. I had some Peter Max paper that I have had for many years. I have been covetting it and keeping it for something special. Well, now I am sharing it with a few friends.
I just love the contemporary feel and the bright primary colors. I am so addicted to using metal tape and I had to add that to this piece too. IF you don't know what a Chunky Book is...you are missing out on a big craze of the mixed media art world. Google it and you would be surprised by the wide variety of 4 X 4 art.
In timely fashion,
Happy Valentines Day to you and yours!
