Textured pieces of silver are soldered together to form a solid piece. The final piece of silver is "stitched" onto the other components with copper wire. The overall piece is 1.5" wide and 1.25" tall. No two hearts are exactly alike as the textured components change from heart to heart. But then, no two pieces of our heart are ever really the same, now are they? And sometimes everything fits perfectly when other times, we have to "stitch" a piece here and there to make it all work. But in the end, it's all a part of who we are... all those random, unlikely pieces that fit safely tucked away inside of us. That is who we are.
