Stone heart

P43

A year ago I made this heart. I was doubtful at the time that hearts would remain a fashionable decor accessory for much longer. But, here we are, 12 months later, and everywhere we look we see them.

I was inspired to make this one by a picture I saw in an old Home magazine. With the recent trend to mix modern and rustic, this particular heart could hang in a variety of different settings. I need to get a little chain for it, though, if I want to hang it anywhere.

Should I make more? Smaller frame, perhaps? Smaller stones? Stones that are all the same colour? Fill it with something other than stones? Hmmm...knowing my luck, I'll make a whole lot more and they'll disappear from the decor world forever.
