I bought a new book

As many of you know I have two part time jobs...besides everything else I do. I have little time to work on art. But that has all changed. I still have my two part time jobs but I have added a new book as an inspirational tool. It is called 365: a daily creativity journal: make something every day and change your life.
So I started yesterday. Above is yesterdays piece. I picked a theme for the 365 pieces that I will be creating over the next 365 days. That theme is....wait for it....my two jobs. I work in the mail room at the local paper and I am a certified bird feeding specialist at Wild Birds Unlimited here in Norman.(Oklahoma) Each day the book gives you a little spark...yesterdays spark was make something to fit in the palm of your hand. This piece is not really done...I need to add age...with ink.
Here is what I did: I started with a piece of brass wire and formed into a heart. I found the ads that I had seen in the newspapers when applying for both jobs and added them. Grabbed a red drop that I got out of the trash at the bird place ( it is chipped...and is "trash") and stuck some mail stickers (that I use everyday in the mail room) on it. Tah dah done.
