My Heart's A Volcano

My Heart's A Volcano

“My Heart’s a Volcano” was inspired by Kahlil Gibran’s saying: “If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?”

I think that’s a sentiment designed to inspire a peaceful heart. However, it isn’t easy to cure a volcano heart!

The original artwork is a 9” x 20” mixed media mosaic.
My work is hand-beaded by gluing each bead, jewel and embellishment one by one onto foam-core using tweezers and toothpicks. I love this kind of meditative labor. I use vintage Swarovski buttons and crystals, beads, a rich gold Murano glass heart, jeweled flowers, silver charms, loads of embellishments and hundreds of Czech bugle beads.

    Thank you and, well, i wear glasses so my eyes are fine so far. As long as my bifocals are good I’ll be fine. Sorry you had to give up close work. My grandmother did too at a certain age and I worry about that!
