Unzipped heart with a bee. The piece of lint that you see has been removed ;-}
Unzip it to find the busyness inside you.
This polymer clay heart is an intention pendant to remind you that Busyness is not all there is to life.
The pendant has handmade bee and it is hidden slightly behind the silver zipper.
We could all use a little reminder now and then that busyness is not all there is to life.
There are two gold stars “screwed” to the sides of the larger ivory heart. It is washed or antiqued with brown acrylic paint to give the appearance of an older relic.
There is a large copper ring in the top of the heart from which hangs a 36” piece of brown satin cord. It will hang about 16-17 inches. The cord is easily removable if you wish to add your own chain or cord.
The heart is 2 3/4” high by 1 3/4”wide and 1/2” thick.
It will come signed and dated on the back. If you wish to pass it on as a gift, I can even add a small sentiment if you wish.

Let's try this again, it didn't take the first time, LOL. I really love this piece. It speaks to me in reminding me to slow down and enjoy life and see the beauty around me. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to be considered for the drawing for this lovely Unzipped heart. Hugs and smiles and I hope you have a wonderful summer.

Well, I totally love the one you are giving away, but if I had to pick a second in line...it would have to be the UnZipped Heart 18 because I love the little angel inside the heart. I believe the Lord gives each one of us angels and I would like to believe that mine is tucked right inside my heart!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You always have such beautiful pieces! please put my name in the drawing!
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again. And, of course, I love hearts because I was a Valentines Bride.

You know how much I love your work. But, I am sorry other commenters, this bee is meant for ME!! The bee has been my symblol for more than 30 years. My favorite phrase is "Put your beewings on". I don't know where it came from, but its about having to know all sides of the story before I voice an opinion.
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS have my beewings on.
That is so beautiful! I am loving your hearts.
ReplyDeleteWow - Marie - this is awesome! I am always amazed at the detail of your beautiful work. :) Theresa
ReplyDeleteHere is my favorite in your lovely shop:

What a brilliant design! I love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie,,, This is amazing. I love, love, love this sweet piece of art:) I can see you are really having fun.
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by your treasuries on etsy and have been doing a few. I love them. Its so addicting though !! lol
I am loving this weather, but alas tomorrow reality of AZ will be back,,at least until the fall. I love the fall so much. Have a great day (()) gail
I love it when I find something on a the internet that is as lovely as it is inspiring and your Heart Art has that magic. The photo of the heart with the zipper and the bee inside tells a story, a different story to each and every one who sees it. It makes one stop and reexamine their own busy heart and what makes it beat fast and what makes it beat a sure slow steady rhythm.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love how intricate the zipper is!
ReplyDeleteI like the Heart of Stone Pendant # 1, I just love that weathered aqua color!
ReplyDeleteOMG look at all these comments!
ReplyDeleteAnd with good reason!
I have the good fortune to have one of your heart pendants, the quality and detail are impectible. The care and creativity are amazing.
No need to enter me marie; I'm already full and satisfied.
:)
love

ReplyDeleteAnd ... because I am so greedy, I am going to post a picture with a link in my sidebar. Much love, Silke
ReplyDeleteI so love hearts and bees! this is a beautiful combo!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I especially love all your hearts in your Etsy shop. Although my absolute fave item is the Woodland Creature...what character that piece has!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing piece! I love the detail work you put into it! Wow! jinglesells at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your work! My favorite in the shop is the unzipped heart #18 - Steampunk!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful - I love your artwork, and this piece really speaks to me. First, because my online name is juliebee, but also because I do get so caught up in "busyness" that I sometimes worry that I'm rushing through my life instead of savoring it...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely images - if I were lucky enough to win, that would be wonderful, but the images have brightened my day!
juliebee
I've just been to your Etsy store - wow! I love the steampunk pieces - especially Heart #18. I have only just discovered steampunk and I love the creativity, and can't help but be charmed by the notion of a whole movement of people saying - "what if all decorative arts were done as if the steam engine was the cutting edge of technology?" That "wobbles the mind"...
ReplyDeletejuliebee
So so darling!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful work! My favorite is the light switch!
ReplyDeleteMarie, don't consider this a giveaway enrty! As I was already lucky and honored winning your beautiful lion magnet, I'll skip this one! :o) Just wanted to send a kiss and to say I'm happy you had such fun on your trip!
ReplyDeleteKisses and love from us.
So glad I found you here! I love, love, love your work. I really love unzipped heart #19 and the stabbed earrings I just might have to purchase! Enter me please :))
ReplyDeleteLove this piece! I'd like to give it to my friend, Maria, who is trying to slow down her life.
ReplyDeletei never saw such a beautyfull heart and i would enjoy to win
