Free Heart Clip Art::Forget-Me Not Heart

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Ready to make some Valentines? Or just looking for a heart image to use in your collages or other mixed media art? Here is one of a series of clip art hearts I’ve drawn for you to use as you like. I’ve written up an easy technique that I use to make collages with drawings like this on my Image Transfer Squidoo lens. (Once there, scroll down to find the “My Faux Image Transfer Method” section.)

I’ve hosted this image at Flickr so that you can choose different sizes to download. Click on the heart image below and once at Flickr you’ll see a small magnifier icon above the image that says “all sizes”. Click on that and you’ll see the different sizes. I’m asking for attribution but I know that sometimes that’s more trouble than it’s worth. If you use it for something you post on a blog, I’d really love a link back to this blog and I will, in turn, feature your work and blog in an entry here.

Check out my other heArt-a-Day blog for more heart clip art. And stop by my Zazzle gift shop for cards, t-shirts, mugs, etc. if you don’t want to make your own.

Nine Hearts of Love Valentine Card

One of my favorite artist blogs, Lily Cherry and the Magic Garden, has the best use of bling on an image I’ve seen yet. I thought I’d try it myself on this heArt art of mine (#104 of 1001). It is an award winning design on Zazzle, where I have it for sale in greeting card form for Valentine’s Day or any time you want to send someone some artful love. Enjoy the glitter!

The Heart Compass

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Being an intuitive/psychic/medium (pick whichever one appeals to you), things often come together in mysterious ways that I don’t see until after the fact. Today is no exception. I was listening to Hay House Radio this morning (click here for details about that) and drawing at the same time. This idea of the “heart compass” started pulling itself together in my mind.

Right now I am being pulled in a lot of different directions, especially as I’m pulling together my career as a psychic and an artist. I’m having to start a lot of new things all at once and I’ve felt stretched thin by it. So it should be no surprise to me that today ended up being all about centering as the universe led me to a radio show about mandalas and I decided to draw one.

It came to me that in all of us there is a heart compass which can tell us exactly which direction we need to go in if we just stop and focus on it. The problem is, most of us stopped looking at the compass long ago, or even asking for directions, and we’re still going down a path we were set on many years ago without thinking twice about it. It may have come from our heart compass, but it’s likely that we’ve encountered some strong magnetic fields along the way that threw our sense of direction off course.

I tapped deeply into the heart compass today after listening to Dr. Moss. I had a sense of it being magnetic, and that if I allow it to, it will pull in all these various strands of myself and weave them together into a whole. Obviously the understanding of this is still out in the metaphorical realm and I don’t have a way to make it practical in “real time”. Or possibly even make it make sense to you as you read this.

In the meantime I offer you the drawing I made as I was centering in my heart. I think all art has the potential to be healing and magical because it comes from another level of awareness that, when tapped into, can do all sorts of things from give you a sense of well being to attract prosperity. This drawing, then, I believe can help you find your heart compass. It’s not as elaborate as a Tibetan sand mandala, and may even look like a childish doodle, but it came from a very down-to-earth level of my heart. I think if you intend to sense your heart compass as you look at it, you will.

The address superimposed on to of the image is the address to my original heArt-a-Day blog, which is a project where I’m intending to make 1001 pieces of heart-themed art. It’s becoming bigger than the art now, expanding to include the spiritual and psychic aspects of the heart.
