14th giveaway- Unzipped heart with a bee

As I promised, this is the 14th give away.
Unzipped heart with a bee. The piece of lint that you see has been removed ;-}

What is in your heart?
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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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!

  21. 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.

    I ALWAYS have my beewings on.

    ReplyDelete
  22. That is so beautiful! I am loving your hearts.

  47. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Very cool! I love how intricate the zipper is!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I like the Heart of Stone Pendant # 1, I just love that weathered aqua color!

    ReplyDelete

  59. I absolutely love your work! My favorite in the shop is the unzipped heart #18 - Steampunk!

    ReplyDelete
  60. This 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...

    Thank you for the lovely images - if I were lucky enough to win, that would be wonderful, but the images have brightened my day!

    ReplyDelete
  61. 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"...
