INSPIRATION DIAMOND ART & CANVAS WALL ART by Michelle
Michelle . "Living With A Broken Heart"
Once upon a time I was just a regular woman, struggling through life like everyone else - and then I had to figure out how to be a woman "Living With A Broken Heart" from the death of my oldest son.
My "broken heart" resulted in me suffering a massive heart attack also known as a widow-maker .. with my only chance of survival, having a left ventricular assistive device implanted to take the place of my "Broken Heart" as a bridge to transplant until a donor heart becomes available.
I was given a second chance at life .. a transformative opportunity to begin again. This allowed me to break free from the past and pursue a more purposeful existence. It gave me a renewal of hope and gratitude. I was essentially given a "re-do" of my previously damaged life.

Diamond Paintings & Wall Art
Diamond Painting is a stress free activity that puts your mind and body at ease. This creative outlet is great for relaxation and overall mental health.
By using an applicator, you apply hundreds of sparking resin rhinestones, one by one, to an adhesive canvas. The end result is a vivid, shimmering work of art.
Each canvas is then framed and ready for your enjoyment.
Wall Art is the process of acrylic painting with pigments and a medium of drying oil as the binder.
It has been the most common technique for artistic painting on water resistant canvas.
Each canvas is dried and carefully wrapped and stretched on a pine wood frame..
