This is a bit ironic LOL -- but the challenge on Inspire Me Thursday this week is to push your boundaries and what timing. I push the boundaries with a lot of my art, but some pieces are harder than others. 3-D work has been a challenge, but also the most rewarding for me.
I couldn't find my large paper mache heart and the thought of trying to form my own heart shape seemed daunting, but I tried an experiment. This is actually the central piece for a window screen assemblage I am outting together and I plan on entering it in a juried show -- another scary thought LOL
I cut out a heart shape from brown paper bag, stitched, and stuffed before treating with texture mediums and iron paint.

Your hearts look very metallic and dimensional. Very nice pieces.

Very cool Karen.
This does look like some sort of patina-ed metal. What kind of paint did you use? Looks cool! good luck with the show!
Looks great!
Wow! Made from a paper bag. I thought it was metal. I love the colors and texture of it. That's great that you are entering it in a show. Best of Luck!
Risk taking and deep (metaphorically) , I dig it.
Cool heart. I love the texture and colors. It really looks like metal. Would never have guessed it's made out of a paper bag. Good luck on your show.
'Morning Karen!
Wow you really pushed the creative envelope with your hearts here, they're incredible! One wants to run their fingers over their surface. You have quite the gifted imagination, Karen!
Hugs, Vale :)
Wow you found a great way to solve the problem. I love the result. These look so tactile and exotic. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece when all assembled.

this looks like a heart that has weathered a lot of storms. I'm glad you are going to enter it into a juried competition. It is very nice.
