I made this little beauty for Karin as a wedding gift after we got married in MA on 1/22/07. The frame I got at a Salvation Army and I refinished it (you'd be surprised what kind of beautiful solid wood frames you can get for 99 cents that just need a little sanding and some paint or stain).
The symbols swirling around the yin yang represent the phoenix and the dragon (auspicious symbols for marriage), heaven and hell (for our last name Heimel-Heck), and I think there is the symbol for love, change and a couple of others - maybe I should have written them down? The reason I say symbol is because they are based on Chinese characters, but I am sure if you read Chinese you will tell me that the symbols are EXACTLY right. That is okay though, because art is not at all about perfection.
