Dark Valentine Shrine to New Love
SOLD This little matchbox shrine is about diving into a new relationship with a somewhat bruised heart... The "crown" of matches at the top is an invitation to set love aflame. Inside the textured, bronze colored box is the heart... a rusty antique nail embedded in one lobe... an old chain of love wrapped about it...
But it is an honest (and humorous) offering of the heart. Who among us hasn't been a bit wounded by relationships yet still have the gumption to offer our hearts again?

Thank you! I am a fan of yours as well!!!!
I love the look and "feel" of this piece...it's really great...congrats on the sale!
Thank you Carol! I loved this little piece too--some found it a little dark, but that was the intention.
Sometimes I think art in small packages is more interesting and approachable. The woman who purchased this shrine is going to place it in a shadowbox... I think that will give it a larger presence, protection, and make it more of a featured work when she hangs it.
Thank you again--and I've enjoyed looking at your work too!
