"A Heart a day"

"The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, or even touched, they must be felt, with the heart."
- Helen Keller

The Heart shape is defined as "an ideograph used to express the idea of the 'heart' in its metaphorical or symbolic sense as the core of emotion, affection, and love." This symbol is recognised the world over as the symbol of love. Because of this reason, I chose to create "a heart a day" as my 365-day project.

"A deck of hearts"
During a game of cards whilst everyone was putting their cards down it almost started to form a heart. With a little help.

"Game of hearts "
During a game of pool with my friends I noticed once someone took their shot that the balls started to form a heart, which is where I got the idea to shape them into one (after the game of course!!).

"Hand heart"
As I was messaging my friend I noticed myself making this hand gesture. Proving that a heart a day will make anyones day.

"heart snack"
As I was having my afternoon snack and some fell on the table I realised it was the perfect opportunity to turn my snack into a heart!

"Spicy Heart"
As my dad was cooking dinner I thought it would be a great opportunity to create a heart with the chillis he was using, lets just say it didnt last very long!

"Potatoe Heart"
As I was sitting in my room I received this photo from my Dad a potatoes heart! Definitely put a smile on my face.

"Simple Heart"
Lastly I thought I'd keep it simple as i found myself doodling on my page and drawing this heart, sometimes just drawing a simple heart can make your day!

 

I didn't want to force my creativity by trying to find different hearts a day, instead, I found myself realising that hearts can be created so easily and can make someone's day by seeing this symbol of love.
