Queen of Hearts Giveaway for Valentine's Day.

Hola my wonderful friends !!!
I am very happy to organize another giveaway and give the lucky winner one of my one-of-a-kind heart necklaces.
Valentine's Day is soon approaching and as a thank you to all of you who have supported me and my work I want to give away a mixed metals "Corazon" neck piece. 
MI CORAZON
©2011 Lorena Angulo
Bronze clay, PMC Pro, brass, sterling, red coral and pearls.
1.82 inches by 1.32 inches (heart)

I made this necklace with a hand carved bronze clay heart, after it was fired I riveted a hand formed and carved fired PMC Pro flower (silver) with a red coral bead. The piece was finished with a sterling chain, brass wire, pearls and more red coral beads.

Bronze clay, PMC Pro, brass, sterling, red coral and pearls.
1.82 inches by 1.32 inches (heart)


The symbol of the heart is very strong in my work because I have a big admiration for "Milagro style hearts." Hearts (corazones) represent how we love, who we love, passion (for our jobs, family, etc), compassion, and health. When I give away a heart piece, I am wishing the receiver good health and best wishes in their life, love and family.

    Oh..almost forgot. El Corazon to me is REMARKABLE (God's most finest of creations...pumping blood to all our organs, without it we would be doomed), RELENTLESS (doesn't find rest until it finds what it is searching for...love), and REPENTANT (Through God's goodness we would know how to love one another the way He loves us). The heart is amazing!

    I, like you, adore hearts. In every room of my house there is a heart--on the wall, on a shelf, on a table--to remind me & to demonstrate to others how rich in love I am. The love of my husband, family, friends, and above all the Love of God sustain me day-to-day, enabling me to greet each day with a smile no matter what problem or obstacle I face. I am still grieving the loss of my Beautiful Mama, who until last October lived in my home along with my lovely mom-in-law--the babies I never had! Now my Beautiful Mama lives in my heart; she joins Jesus, my father, mis Abuelitas lindas & all who had previously left footprints across my
    heart & helped make me into who I am today. My heart is full--of love,
    memories, appreciation--but there is still so much more room left for all that is yet to be. Yes, I adore hearts. They represent the countless blessings in my life.

    Lorena - gracias for giving me this opportunity to express my feelings. In this way you have helped me down the road toward healing. Abrazos!

    The heart of course means love. It means kindness and gentle spirit. It is also a motif that allows others to connect to a creation coming from their own meaning for the heart. It is ultimately totally personal to the viewer and almost always joyful! Your hearts are wonderful Lorena. I do hope that whoever wins will wear this necklace with bliss!

    I linked to this post on my facebook status update too. Hearts are for sharing after all!

    For me, the heart symbolizes spiritual love, the sort of love I am to show each individual that crosses my path. So many tangible and intangible ways to share that love. For some years now, I have been on a search for natural rocks and stones that are heart-shaped. It's amazing what you can find when you look down and take notice! Nature has made many hearts for me to find and I am soooo enjoying where all the interesting little paths are taking me. Your heart struck me, because it is very earthy and has an aged look and I am partial to that look. To close, I will mention that your use of the word "Corazon" reminds me of one of my favorite romantic comedies ... "Romancing the Stone."

    Beautiful piece!
    To me, a heart is symbolic of passion. Not just the physical/sexual passion, but a passion for life - that fluttery heart feeling we get when we are truly excited about an art project, a friendship, learning, etc.

    Hope you feel better soon. Hearts to me are the symbol of all the people who mean so much to me. I have loved hearts since I first saw my mother's charm bracelet from the 1940's and have collected them for many years.

    I'd love to win one of yours. Put me down for a bonus point as I'm mentioning on facebook.

    Such a beautiful necklace, I would so LOVE to own it.
    The heart is such a powerful symbol of love of all kinds, not just a romantic love. It can symbolise love for a child, parent, pet, the world - anything. The shape of the heart always makes me smile.

    As for the other part of this challenge I have done the following
    I already follow your blog, facebook page and twitter feed.

  44. Pretty ThingsFebruary 11, 2011 at 8:46 PM

    That is so beautiful.

    What does the heart mean to me. Hmm. At one time, it meant tragedy and longing. I thought I'd never pull out of that darkness and felt like I'd lost my heart, because something that broken, that shattered, surely had just disintegrated and been blown away by the wind.

    But then the heart began to mean hope, and hope bloomed into love again. The new heart is battered, has stitches, has some locked doors, but it's still beating, stronger, in spite of and because of love.

  45. Lorena AnguloFebruary 11, 2011 at 10:18 PM

    Dear Lori,
    I am happy to know that your heart is strong and loving again. I think that having a heart with some stitches makes it even stronger.

    Lorena, what a stunning piece!

    For me, hearts have always been closely tied to my identity. I grew up loving Valentines day- "Valentine" is my maiden last name, and the activities surrounding the day always made me feel very unique and proud of my family. Later in life, Hearts have come to symbolize resilience. Women in my family are stricken with heart disease in mid-life; watching my mother survive a heart attack in 2006 and then push herself to recover, coming back stronger than ever showed me the power behind the heart symbol. it can also stand for brazenness, passion, and a desire to live to the fullest.
    Can't wait to see who wins this Lorena. Thanks for sharing your work! :)

    Lorena,

    For me the heart represents many things...Love, life, strength, passion and that every second a heart beats is a precious gift.

    A few years ago, I started searching for heart shaped rocks on beaches. I've found 3 so far...

    Good luck to everyone !
