My Mission to Do 1000 Pieces of Heart Art

Several years ago I had an idea to make 1000 hearts.  I also had the idea to sell miniature, artist-trading-card-sized (2.5 x 3.5 inches) pieces of original art on eBay, which I tried and failed at.  I was apparently just six months ahead of the curve.  I recently discovered that there is now an entire art collectors movement on eBay and in blogs for miniature pieces of art, and also artists who are doing one piece of art each day.  At last!  My time has come!

The drawing above is my first heArt and is not for sale.  Copyright 2007 G.L..  Digitally watermarked.

heArt #27 "Tropical Fiesta!"

I am on a mission to make 1000 pieces of heart-themed art, one each day, in a variety of media. This is, obviously, #27. You can seem more about my project at http://heartaday.wordpress.com or http://www.squidoo.com/heartaday. This was drawn in Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom grahpic tablet, recorded with the freeware Camstudio, and edited with Windows Movie Maker.

The Heart as Symbol 

Where did it come from?

How did the heart symbol that we all know so well come into being, and why does it look nothing like a physical human heart?
Heart Symbol Entry on Wikipedia
Nobody knows for sure where the heart symbol comes from.
Heart Symbolism
From HErARTWorks website.
The online symbolism dictionary, definition: HEART
Nowadays the heart is the symbol used mostly to denote TRUE LOVE.
Why is LOVE always related to the Heart -shaped or Heart symbol?
Why the heart is associated as a the sign/symbol of Love? Why not any other sign or body parts?

The Heart Chakra 

About the emotional and spiritual energy of the heart

As an energy worker I have come to use chakras as a framework in which to explain information I receive intuitively. This has, in turn, influenced my desire to draw hearts. The heart chakra, for me, is the center of everything.

live in Australia and a year or so ago I was working in the Kimberley's in Western Australia I saw a programme on TV on Craft and Scrapbooking and the women used Thick Sticky Tape on the front of a photo then cut around the tape and put the tape and photo into water for a while, then rubbed the paper backing of the photo off and all that was left on the sticky tape was a clear picture of what it was stuck to on the photo.
Have you heard of this process and if so how can I find out how to do it.
Hoping you can help, not sure if it was a show in USA or Canada.
