This is a mixed media project I’ve had in mind for months now. This is the first of what will be several renditions of the idea. It starts with a stretched canvas 10×13, painted in a light brown acrylic. Holes are drilled along either side. Then a strip of burlap is tacked on across the middle using guitar string holders.and guitar strings are placed across like a musical staff. I placed a hammered copper heart in the middle, under the strings. Above and below are dry rub transfers of a portion of sheet music from the 18th century song called Home Sweet Home. I covered the back of the canvas in burlap and will frame it in a copper frame.
