Prim heart

this is an international swap*

make 2 primitive hearts ornament/softie and send to 1 partner

the ornament/softie should be something you can hang up so be sure to add some twine, wire or other hanging thing at the top...AND even though i am calling it a softie, primitives can be stuffed with not so soft things, such as sawdust, dry flowers,herbs, old yarn scraps , etc.... Make your hearts about 5inches or more round add something to the front of the heart to decorate and made a small prim tag to go with it., what is "primitive" you say???

primitive folk art ( including art dolls, ornaments, illustrations, altered art, etc) is a catagory of art & craft that closley resembles early american folk art

as the word primitive suggests its creations have rudimentary, simple, basic design and normally look rusted, aged, tattered, grungy & frayed. i encourage you to make your own patterns with this one!

techniques commonly used to give creations a "old world" effect are rusting, painting, baking, sanding, rubbing with sandpaper, over dying with coffee or tea, etc...

a super blog entitled "primitive folk art by old world primitives" with heaps of info & links, a blog that actually inspired me to create this swap, can be found here
