I am on the search for some more things for my gallery wall that I am builidng. One of the items on my list is string art ~ the 70's really are back I guess. I found a pattern and I think I am going to do a heart. Of course I have no idea when I am going to have time but it is a thought. I also bought fabric last month to make a ruffled apron ~ all girly like. Too much on my plate this week to even think about being crafty but it WILL happen.

Anyway, I really admire the look you've got going there, and the statue turned out great!
