Hello again,I know this is a little late (we've been away for a short break) but cupid's arrow struck again on Valentines Day.
I had the idea to make these simple red hearts and hang them from the trees in our garden for my wife to find on the day.
The idea might have been simple but the executions was less so; buy red card (stiff red card is only red on one side), buy red paint (to paint the other side and edges), buy brush (to paint the hearts), buy silver card (to make the arrows), buy glue (to glue the arrows on the hearts), buy cotton (to hang the hearts from the trees).
A couple of hours spent cutting out, painting and glueing had it sorted and then, I was outside in the garden, in my dressing gown, in sub-zero temperatures, way after midnight, trying to hang the hearts from the trees. If my neighbours had seen me I don't know what they would have thought. Luckily they didn't see me or at least they didn't let on.
The end result was rather nice though, slightly surreal and very peaceful to watch them slowly spinning around - ahh, points in the bag;)
I think I'll stick to irrigation and lighting from now on though, it's something I know a bit more about.
Until next time...
