As someone who has ended up at an ER with heart symptoms, I can tell you that women are still not taken as seriously as men when it comes to suspecting heart attack. This project is a good one if it brings attention to the issue.
Love that you shared this with us.. It's a worthy cause since women on the whole are more concerned with breast cancer than their own hearts! xo marlis
This is so important, Thank You for posting. Great pics. The display is so colorful and interesting, to get everyones attention. Soooooo important. Hope your day is great.
Hi lovely lady. I love the America Heart Association for helping with the women of today .. Thanks so much for sharing with us... I hope you have a Great Week sweet lady... and thanks so much for your lovely comments on my Patio Dinner Party.. XXOO Diane Keep cool in the sun...
Reminds me of a Portland event held years ago, as a fund raising event for a childrens organization.
Local artists decorated large fiberglass cows in varying ways and they were scattered across town for viewing. I wish I had sought the pieces out because the event has never been held again.
Beautiful artwork for a beautiful cause. As Pondside said, women's heart issues are not taken very seriously sometimes, since they are so different from men's symptoms.
Wonderful mosaic. The hearts are lovely aren't they? Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by! It's always a pleasure to have you visit! Cathy

Hello, Snap! Great post...and the hearts are wonderful!
Thank you for sharing and reminding us ladies about the risks of Heart disease. A wonderful collection of photos on this cause. Hope you are staying cool!
What a great cause and wonderful idea. Love the various hearts. I've been to the ER several times with symptoms but so far so good - no heart problems. Great idea to make women aware! Thanks for sharing. Pamela
What a very worthwhile project you have shared with us! My MIL almost died from a massive heart attack at age 59, and 14 years later, she's still with us. Hers is absolutely hereditary, non-smoker and not overweight. I think this is a wonderful thing, and the art is so creative.
Thanks for visiting my blog this weekend and for taking time to leave a comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed the "tour". You must come for a visit sometime.
Thanks for the gentle reminder with such beauty. I'm a heart collector so I'm sure I'd be in awe of the exhibit. Wishing you a wonderful week, my friend!
Such a wonderful way to remind us all. Thanks for being a part of Seasonal Sundays.

Awareness is a very good thing and if you can promote it well using these beautiful and compelling images all the better!

This is such a wonderful fund raiser! I have seen oversized stars, pigs, and moose painted, but I really love these hearts.
July 24, 2011 at 8:28 PM
How cool....so wonderfully creative & for a good cause, too. BRAVO to all involved.
