Puzzle Project Completed!

Some of you were reading our blog over the last several months, and you may remember when we were frantically putting puzzles together for a friend's project. READ about it here. Well, now our friend's project is done, and I thought you'd like to see it. Every puzzle was painted when it was together, then all taken apart and each piece was hand dipped in weather proof polymer coating. Each piece was individually epoxy glued to the artistic heart.

She entered her own sculpture idea in a Loveland, Colorado art contest, and she was chosen as one of twelve artists to make these heart sculptures which will be placed all over Loveland, CO - at the sponsors' locations. All twelve artists were given identical, plain white hearts to decorate, according to their winning ideas. In this picture, Tatiana is holding her original contest entry idea and is standing by the final product! Great Job, Tatiana!


You can see here that she hand-painted The Group Inc. realty logo on some of the puzzle pieces, since that company sponsored this permanent outdoor landscape sculpture.

On July 11-13, all of the twelve hearts will be in one place, where they will be unveiled and displayed. Then this is the way Tatiana's heart will look for all to see at The Group Inc. realty near I-25 and US-34. Look for it if you are driving by...
