The metal work on the house has cut work covering the outside. This allows the colors of the painted shrine to come through and is an exceptional technique for embellishing all kinds of projects Open the shrine’s double doors and a heart pendent hangs inside. The center of the pendent is open and images are layered on mirror and Plexiglas that are inserted into the heart. The heart is then covered in reposse.
