The pieces for this heart were cut from photocopies of two photos of my great-aunts and a piece from a dictionary. After being painted with water colors, they were glued to a heart cut from a dictionary page. The background was done by drawing the stripes with an orange galaxy marker and then going over it with water color. The marker acted as a resist. Finally, after sewing on the borders, I gave the whoe thing a coat of golden colored glaze.
