Hearty

One can never have enough heart! Especially on a tennis court where the silhouette of this early 1900's tennis player can be found. This paper mache heart was created first from a flat slab of paper mache, cured for 5 days, and dried to an uneven surface. Then cut to heart form, and painted with a base layer of silver - large drops of gold paint were dropped from 5 feet above creating wonderful blotches of imperfection. Copper drizzles complete the effect. Stop worrying about the imperfections! No heart is perfect...
