“Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart.” – M. Munroe.  While searching for a good way to use this beautiful silver filigreed vintage purse clasp, it occurred to me that, when open, it is shaped like an eye.  With a little silver heart bead as the pupil, a story started to emerge about how when we look through the eyes of the heart, we can easily pick out the things in the world that echo love back to us, even when the world is busy and full of distractions.  (Can you find all five silver hearts?)

Materials:  Vintage silver filigree purse clasp; aluminum tin; plastic wheel; silver heart beads; wooden beads; plastic game pieces; cut paper; acrylic paints.  In cradled board.
