Earth and Fire

I'm having fun making lots of hearts. It's an ancient shape with many meanings.

I've made simple ones, with a single color.

These are more complex patterns. I like them a lot. They're very glossy.

They remind me of antique woodcut designs. Sanded and polished to a high sheen.

Star charts, or map legends with the four directions.

And the four substances.

Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

These rose colored hearts remind me of detailed batik dyed fabrics.

The changing colors, the thickness of the lines.

They look really old, like artifacts.

I made pairs, so they could be used together as earrings. It's tricky, to make them match. Even though they're unique, because they're hand colored.

They feel special, like old posters with vintage designs on them.
