Description
'In our lives, our hearts are often broken. Each cut is deeper than the last, and each takes longer to heal. We become hard. Unwilling to let others in. But some of us, the lucky one's of us, get the chance to meet someone who without us even knowing, stitch those wounds, and help us heal. They let us know that its safe to love again and that no wound is too deep or wide, because with true love, nothing is impossible'The 'Heart Shaped Box' is made out of Aromatic Ceder, and is about 4"x4". It's designed to contain a single ring, to give to the one that you love. Each one is hand carved, entirely unique and stitched together with leather.

wow this is really interesting how you've played with the nature of the material......turning wood into flesh...
Someone in my school did something with wood like this. They made a large pillow with 2 sheets of bolsa wood warped into the shape of the pillow......it even included an indentation of where a large object would compress into the surface. If it was for the wood grain pattern I could've sworn it was a real pillow...
you have some really great stuff here. I love the way you're thinking....

Wow! The idea of the stitches is great and your words go so well with it... I think it's beautiful and really original.

You realize the idea so well here, with subtleties in the carving that make the cuts and the effect of stitching look like flesh instead of wood.

I have always a wooden heart in my pocket, a worry stone. and a wooden heart for a ring is also a nice idea :3
