I spent a while working on this project. Days actually. I created the two heart ornaments for a gift exchange for mother's who have last their infants. One ornament was for a local mom and the other was sent to a mom in Florida, USA. I hope they like their pieces!
I set the type for the names and dates of the two babies.
At the last moment I set the butterfly dingbat in.
The names and dates were letterpress printed onto some of my handmade paper.
The hearts are made of cotton pulp. I cast each half of the heart in a mould and then glued the two halves together. I decorated the heart after the glue had dried.
