The original design for "Colorful Hearts" was drawn by Navaeh, age 8, of Sandstone Public Library, a branch of East Central Regional Library. Navaeh wrote, "I drew a cloud around a colorful heart. Then I drew a rose with thorns. I put many colors to make it colorful." The sculpture is part of the East Central Regional Library's Kids Design Glass project. Funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, the project started with a Summer Reading Program art contest for kids 5-10 years old. One child's drawing was chosen from each of East Central Library's fourteen branches. Sculptor Anthony Michaud-Scorza, of Cambridge, Minnesota, then turned each drawing into a kid-inspired blown-glass sculpture.
