This heart traveled so far!

2011-02-18T23:25:00.000-08:00

"I just got one of your hearts from my mom. I live in London England and it was a great gift to get. Thank you!!"

2011-02-16T17:05:00.000-08:00

'Thanks Jasna for spreading some love on a rainy Saturday in February!'

2011-02-15T14:49:00.000-08:00

This article was posted today on the Architects + Artisans site. It was written by JoAnn Locktov from Bella Figura Communications.
JoAnn described my work so well. Thanks!

2011-02-15T12:18:00.000-08:00

I think that at this point all of the hearts are gone, even those that needed some acrobatic skills to get to.
If you have any more interesting photos or stories, please share them.
Here are few more that were sent to me. Thanks!

One link in japanese and a sweet comment along with the photo.
'Thank you for such a fun idea, it truly made my heart melt, and for the beautiful gift.'

This one is from The Canadian Design Resource.
'Hey, I grabbed one by my parking spot by the market. I am looking forward to Granville Island doing other art events like this, it is such an interesting place and would benefit in becoming a real art destination.'
Maybe Granville Island will like to sponsor my next project.

2011-02-13T17:58:00.000-08:00

I just received these two sweet photos. Thank you!

2011-02-13T14:26:00.000-08:00

Thanks everyone for your comments, support and participation in this project!
I enjoyed everything about Finders-Keepers, especially getting your photos and stories of how you found a heart. I would love to hear more.
Here are several comments and few more photos to shear with you. Also, another blog-story with a found heart.

'My two young sons and I just cam home from Granville Island. We had so much fun searching for hearts.
Thanks so much for creating such a great event for families'

'What a wonderful thing to do! Bless you! I wish I lived in your community so I could find one.'

'That is such a sweet idea! Wished I lived nearby just to see if I chanced upon someone pondering what to do with one of those lovely hearts.'

'I had some business near the Island today and spotted a heart from my parking space. What a wonderful surprise! I'm giving it to my boyfriend of nearly 10 years. I cherish the love.'

I have few more surprise ideas to come. Check my website from time to time for updates!

More hearts

2011-02-12T01:59:00.000-08:00

finally, here are some photos from our trip to mexico in spring 2010.
first, we went to an artist residency at la ceiba grafica, where we had such a wonderful, wonderful time...who ever gets a chance to go there for visit/workshop/residency, it is a magical place and highly recommended!
then, through mexico city to oaxaca city, where we visited numerous small villages, each specialized in one kind of craft.

we finished our mexican adventure in san agustinillo on oaxacan coast.

would be so hard to decide which part of this trip was my favorite.

love and miss mexico and all our friends from there!
