Wooden Heart

My project for Altered Pages is a wooden shaped heart.  The heart would make a great gift for friend, mother, aunt or sister. 

 
The wooden heart has a hole in the top for hanging. I chose a collage image and cut it to fit the heart.  There are a lot of collage images available at Altered Pages that could be perfect on a heart. Adhere the image with gel medium, then let it dry.  Blend ink around the sides of the heart. I arrange some flowers  and leaves to one side of the heart. When I was happy I adhered each one with glue.
 
Supplies:
Wooden Heart
Altered Pages Collage Image
Brown Ink
Gel Medium
Flowers
Glue
Twine or Ribbon
 
On the reverse side I simply added another floral arrangement with hot glue. To finish I added some course twine.  Jute was tied through the hole, it could be used to hang the heart.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
