Riikka Workshop 3: Heart of Turisas was forged by the winds

Hello there - well this is the result of my third and final workshop - sadly I needed to get home so couldn't do the Sunday pm workshop. But this is the project that turned my head in the first place - and also the one that I loved most of all.



This is Riikkas project - it was even more stunning in the flesh - and here's what I made:


Here's how it started ..


more progress ...


I decided I really wanted to use both halves of the polystyrene heart - to make this piece a tribute to my late husband Shaun. So I did - I think it has made the whole thing very busy but I do love it.


Here's a more arty shot to try and give more of a feel of the dimension. 

It was such a wonderful class - I loved it. 


And if you're wondering - the name of the class comes from a song by Riikka's favourite metal band!!!! She even played us a clip!

Big hugs and hopes for a wonderful day!

Rachel xx

    Rachel, you never cease to amaze me with your creative skills! Your canvas turned out fabulous, and when I clicked on the images to enlarge them, I could see all those wonderful elements, the texture of the background and those details on the hearts! What a lovely tribute to your late husband. I know he is looking down from Heaven and grinning from ear to ear! Big hugs!
