what's in front

"a sign of love"

boo

"surprise!"

i left this brightly coloured heart in some bushes on hale road, just at eye level to catch people's attention :)

goodmorning

goodmorning gorgeous looking but deceivingly cold day!

but i dont mind..because it's the weekend!! happy weekend everyone! :)

i wonder

...who will be waiting around the corner?

love watching life go by

"love watching life go by"

this little heart was stationed on the walking path up hale road..there were so many cars whooshing past that missed out on the beauty of the surroundings!

come on, love

i love making road signs a little more interesting! i wonder if any of the cars passing by will notice :)

sitting on the wire fence

"i'm putting my heart on the line"

...with this project. i hope someone picks it up.

sunday school

"smile!"

"hello love, what's your name?"

"somebody is thinking of you!"

walked over to the high school today and left some hearts for people to find tomorrow morning, hopefully it makes their monday a little brighter!

i'm so glad i

found you!

the first one was left at lincoln's cafe in north perth, the second in the corner or a bus shelter on pearson street :)

walking walking

"pass it on"

"free love"

today i delivered some hearts into the postbox (bulwer street) and gave out some free love at robertson park in northbridge

on the bus

"hello there! hope you have a wonderful day"

"hello world!"

today was pretty wet and grey, so i tried to leave my hearts around dry places that people might run into. the first is a bus shelter on hale road, the second on bus 401 at 8am.

i like how the pink heart is peering out the window..

what a cute landsales office ;)

hello world

..hello nature!

hearts from italy

the very first submission to paper hearts is from Eli, thank you :)

for a guaranteed smile, read this: "Today my boyfriend and I went to a children's playground armed with lots of paper hearts, with the words LOVE and AMORE written on them. We stuck them all over the toys (slides, swings and twirly things) and then waited until 4pm when school finishes. 

The park was full of kids, about 50 of them. We waited and watched, until all the hearts were found. Most children ran to their mothers and gave the hearts to them for safe keeping. Other children just looked at them, but were to timid to pick them up. One kid went on a 'hunt' and ended up with most of the hearts."

...told you you would smile! i can just imagine all the kids getting so excited :)

Eli is currently in Italy, and runs a pretty spiffy blog called eli and toggle with lots of camera links and tips (polaroids & film) and other general nice things!

what a difference

a little heart makes on a drain :)

a day in the park

meant putting hearts in trees, posting a message on someone's letterbox, placing a heart on a bridge, and hiding one in a nest i found!

two hearts

on a park bench.

a line of hearts

i dotted the path along the lake with colourful hearts - i hope it cheered up the cyclists, joggers, walkers, doggies and ducks along their way!

day 1

welcome! paper hearts project started on a sunday afternoon with lots of coloured paper, blutack and a camera. inspired by the ever creative and cheerful katie sokoler from color me katie, the idea is just to spread a bit of love around the world.

maybe someone will walk past the hearts and smile, maybe they'll even pick one up and take it home. if you like the idea of this, send in images of your paper hearts to paperheartsproject(at)gmail.com (under 1mb) and i'll post them up!

thanks for reading :)
