Paper Heart Conundrum

I thought this was lost. Instead, it was in a box with the plans and materials for all the changes that I want to make to it. Sometimes, I’m so organized that I hide things from myself. 🙈 Since I have this little kit, maybe I will make a sculpture during this pandemic after all. 🤔😁 #sculpture #bandsawbox #art #sculpturekit #lostart #packedupandforgotten #artschool #ilovebandsawboxes #wip #basswood #geometricart #ilovetriangles #sculpturalfurniture (at Knoxville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEM80ZpjdEe/?igshid=1s5aclp7t5wuh

There are wild blackberries all over and I’m like where is Raphael Peale?
