My friend Olive always reads Dickens during Christmas time, and so, I searched through my Kindle and there was a little set of stories by him that I didn't know I had! And even though his stories have a sad side, they usually cheer me up in the end. So, I started making my way through "The Seven Poor Travellers" and got stopped by the sentence, "His heart was in the right place, but it was sealed off." This condition could apply to many people I know.
At the same time, I've been thinking about easy ways to cast molds, and came across some ideas about using paper as a casting material. I did it 100 years ago, and guess what? They still look good!
This is my first idea for combining the two: Dickens' excellent observation and a sketch for a paper bas relief of a sealed off heart. It is probably too direct, but maybe it will lead to more sophisticated ideas :)
