Lonely Hearts

As you know Valentine's Day is just around the bend.  I have just finished a few little goodies for the occasion...I call them my Lonely Hearts.  I should mention that each one has a little limerick associated with it that I penned.  I have it attached on the back.  

If you're interested in any of these...

I just opened a shop on Etsy (took me long enough).  These little guys are listed there...or rather here:

Each one is a found object assemblage that has been mounted in a little box which is ready to hang on the wall.  The sizes are all 3"x3"x1.5"

There once was a dainty flower name Sally,

Who fancied a young Captain, stowing away in his galley.

Hiding in a sack of flour,

Sally was baked for an hour

And found herself having crusty finale.

There once was a poor bloke named Jed,

Who, one morning decided to be unwed.
He kicked out his wife,
Not noticing her knife;
Needless to say he is now dead.

There once was a woman named Sue
Who said: “With men, I am certain, I’m through”.
Tying her boyfriend up tight,
She hopped on a flight,
And threw him out of the plane over Peru.

There once was a man named Hieronymus.

Loneliness and sadness his name was synonymous.
He fancied a red dressed madam,
Who referred to him as Adam.
Which sounded better than calling him Anonymous.

There once was a inventor named Tom

Who worked for the King making bombs.
His wife poured him some wine
Or so she thought at the time,
But it turned out to be a rare vintage of Napalm.

There once was a girl name Aphrodite;

Named after the Greek goddess almighty.
For each day of the week,
A different man’s physique;
In fact I’m penciled in for next Friday.

There once was a starving artist named Thad

Who loitered in cafes with his sketchpad.
He penciled a frail Parisian miss,
Who he then tried to French kiss;
But the stiletto in her purse made him wish he never had.

Once again if you're interested you can find them at my Etsy store
