Based on the most recent trade offer I received, I think I may have given people the idea that I only want terrible things.
That is NOT the case. I want wonderful, odd things. But I guess I'm also intrigued by terrible. As evidence of this, please view my conversation with Tony:
TONY:
Introduced to me as being the "Heart of the room" when I first saw this piece it was suspended from the ceiling in the center of my roommate's room, later when he moved out of the house he left it in the room and while I find it to be an interesting piece, after moving into the room I decided to move it off to the side and would actually like it to go on living as the heart of someone else's room.
I was interested in trading it for the Luigi piece shown on the site.

PS. I first tried sending this with a picture included but I got a message back from craigslist saying it was too big to be sent, the size requirement they have is 150k which is too small to get the details of this particular piece so I would like to send the image after you reply to this.

Yes, yes, you are seeing it correctly. It DOES have a cow windchime and a grappling hook all in the same "piece."
OH COME ON! LOOK AT IT!!! HOW CAN I RESIST????? I've asked Tony to try and get in touch with its creator and ask him a series of very pertinent questions. Stay tuned for the results. It won't be for awhile though, so don't sit there staring at the screen, get to work. Oh...

Here's Tony's story about "The Heart of the Room."
Every room has something that catches everyone's attention when they first walk into it and that was the intent of this piece, it was created by my previous roommate from various objects he found over the course of living at the house. As he added new items to this he moved it to the center of his room, using it as the "Heart of the room", everyone always asks questions, where did it come from, what happened to it, but in all actuality it is simply the time spent somewhere put in art form, feel free to add new things to it as time progresses with it in your possession, as it is very much a living piece of art. Now as for why it was created I honestly don't know what initial spark of thought made my old roommate decide to make it but according to him, "It sounded like a good idea at the time."
