We are so excited at how Love Ministries is expanding! Not only are we meeting new clients, but we are receiving more and more invitations to team up with other ministries and even local businesses. One of our latest partnerships is an upcoming event with Aerie Lane near Valentine’s Day which is a Couple’s Craft event at Aerie Lane on February 10th. Todd and I (Tami) got the chance to do the craft ahead of time and had a blast together! I (Tami) have never been much of a “crafty” person but this experience is next to fool-proof and turned out amazing.
The crafting experience was fun, interactive, and even intimate and we worked together to uniquely form our “string art” creation. Each layer and part of the project had its own significance and symbolism (things we’ll share more about on Feb. 10th so reserve your spot now). Because pictures are worth a thousand words, I’ll let the images below do the talking and only add a few comments and captions.
At first Todd and I worked side by side on our two separate boards. Each of us did a white wash paint / stain of our individual boards.
Stop! Hammer Time – our next step included hammering small nails into the boards. It was easy to do since we were guided by a design stencil and even had a tool that kept us from driving the nails too deep.
Todd and I each had our own style for stringing our side of “the cross”, but we found them to be complimentary as we brought our two pieces together. Our separate pieces became one “at the cross”.
Once our cross pieces were permanently bound together we began to string the heart. Both of us were aware that the back of the boards is where the two pieces are fastened together, but it was “the heart” of the art that made the two pieces come together as one!
The final step in our creative connection experience was to personalize our art as a couple. Like any great artist who is proud of his or her art, we proudly put our mark on our couple creation!
I don’t know what you are planning to do celebrate and express your love to one another as a couple this Valentine’s Day but Todd and I want to encourage you to “get creative” and “make a memory” with us at Aerie Lane.
“We love because he first loved us.”
