Description:

The history: I made my heart once. I took an old candy box, a Whitman's Sampler box to be exact, and filled each spot with a different heart. My heart. All the different pieces of it. Each was made out of a different material and each had a small note attached to them telling what they represented. It was for a swap; the heart I got from a girl in Sweden was literally a stuffed felt human heart recreation that hangs right above where my laptop sits. She got mine, I got hers, and it's a piece of art I truly treasure.

I decided it was time to do it again...

Your mission: to craftily/artistically recreate your heart. What it is, what it's been through, what it feels, etc. It's truly open to interpretation. It can be the story of your worst breakup or a bottle of broken glass or a mixed cd (all three) or well...whatever you can come up with!

It doesn't have to be anything expensive, but it just requires thought.

Everyone will have one partner and please know that this is open to everyone, so you might get an international partner.

Have fun!

This morning I found a surprise in my mail-box... O.O I'm still thinkin bout my heart...but someone sent a really nice "chain of hearts" to me, yet...TY so much, it's amazing...I gotta find a right place for your heart in my room, then I'll take a pic... The notes also...are great. Sincerly...I was on bus when I opened the package and I almost got moved...It has been a deep experience, in some way. (and u are a goddess at crafting, dear :-O No way u can be envious of someone! :D)

GRAZIE, Found Evidence...TY u, really.
