Ace of Hearts

Ace of Hearts

For two reasons, one of which is the forthcoming Humhum cards project. I got lucky when asked to tackle the Ace of Hearts; a nice, comfortable and somewhat regal card to work with. I wanted to do something in stone – something very austere. A certain somebody close has been cracking hearts recently so i think this was also something of a therapeutic process. It isn’t broken, and is adorned with a sash to indicate a solemn authenticity.
