Heart for the Tin Man!!!
I have nearly finished my creation of a heart for the Tin Man that will be displayed at the Recycled Arts Festival in Vancouver , Washington, June 27 and 28, 2015. This is such a clever idea…Artists are being asked to create a heart and festival guests will have a chance to vote on their favorite for the Tin Man. All hearts will be donated to the American Heart Association for their auction at the annual Hearts ball in February 2016. Stop by my booth this weekend and vote:)
