Heart in my Hand by Lesley

Hi everyone. And welcome to my post which this week is an assemblage.

I love houses, and often alter them. I surprised myself by realising i had never done one of the tall houses!

I started by painting all the pieces with silver paint. I then stamped onto the roof and the insides of the house and used a fine black embossing powder over the images. Once this was all dry, i glued the house together.

I soldered around all the edges......i do love a bit of soldering!

Using an old broken necklace, i glued the diamante bits to the roof of the house.

And a couple of the decorative links to the sides.

Next, came the inside of the house........i have lots of odd arms and legs from all the dolls i take apart when i use their heads. Seemed a shame not to try an use them.

I found a matching pair of hands and wrapped lots of wire around them, including a mini heart which i had painted red. Once they were secure, i wedged a sparkly heart into the hands, and glued them into the house.

Kinda like how this turned out.......will have to do a leg one next time. :-)

Thanks for reading.
L.xx
