Inspire Me Thursday this week asks for art inspired by hearts, to mark Valentines Day. I was stuck for a while, caught between the sugary sweet of romance and the goriness of heart surgery. I quickly remembered my years in Malawi, the Warm Heart of Africa and put together this piece. The photo is of the Primary School in Malindi, the village where I lived for two years - education is after all at the heart of Malawi's development. The background is from a chocolate box (a subtle hint of romance there!) and the letters are cut out of a magazine.
crafty- this is very sweet and I can see a lot of thought went into it. Btw, thank you for you comment on my heart piece. Expressing feelings around heart surgery is not an easy task for some. Peace.
I liked how you answered this challenge with some thinking about what was meaningful to you. Thanks so much for your comment on my hearts. I thoroughly enjoyed making them, sending them out, spreading some love!
