Now that is worthy piece of art that you have created to commemorate the wonderful church. Where will the piece go now?

Wow, edmostâ„¢, your sacred heart is beautiful and rockin'!! Both sides of it are stunning. I think both sides of it deserve to be seen and admired, and wondered if there's anywhere that you could place a watch fob-type bail on it so it would flip sides while worn?

Thanks Tela ! I happened to be messaging Tela Sunday & mentioned that the heart took me 5 hours to grind. I was little embarrassed by that. Is that excessive? What I'm trying to show here is the profile. This heart is probably only relieved the minimum amount to effect a shallow dome. Just enough to get all the flats out. Especially difficult areas are the heart of the heart and up around the homps. just like dead cent on the top of cab. (Although I have found that if I prep grind the stone properly, before epoxy them together, I really save lots of finesse grinding around the homps) Nonetheless it really turns into lots of grinding especially when doing both sides. I want to learn how to grind that profile to a razor edge. That will really bend a heart and give it a high dome. But as you can see... I still be out grinding on this heart if attempted it with this one. I need a magic roughing wheel Thanks Everyone !! I will reply in kind....

This is the plaque commemorating the church What I want to do is photoshop the heart in front of the plaque The plaque is about 30 yards away Had to take the picture through a chain link fence How would I go about photchopping the heart in? Should I go take another picture with the heart hanging in front of the plague 30 yards away. Then try to do some photo chop manipulation ? Any idea? Thanks Ed

Try going in on a Sunday and get a more clear shot. PS should be pretty easy to with or without using layers. But, yeah, if you could get in with it being open, then you could get a picture of the heart hanging in front of the sign BUT, depending on your camera, you may have a focus problem with the sign being out of focus. Hmm.... get a good sign shot, seperate heart shots (taken at the same time using the same days light) and then ask for PS volunteers. I'm not as good as a lot of people but, if no one else will help, I will. edit, I should add that it would be best to do the heart picture against a white or light solid background to make it easier to cut out.
