“Have a heart”

Hi Strands fans. A nice easy one today, as long as you remember your school Biology lessons.
When I saw the word ARTERY in the top-right corner, I knew this was going to be about parts of the heart. Sure enough, I found CARDIOVASCULAR spelt across the middle of the board to split it in two.
I then connected the two remaining answers in the top section. ATRIUM was in the middle, with VEIN to its left.
Moving onto the bottom section, I found PULSE in the bottom-right corner, with BLOOD on the opposite side. All that was left was to connect PRESSURE between the two to complete the puzzle.

“A form of art”

Hi Strands fans. I stumbled into today's answers while looking for clue words, accidentally connecting WOOD in the top-right corner.
From then on, I realized I was looking for artistic materials for sculptures, immediately finding STEEL in the bottom-right corner and GLASS along the left-hand side.
I then connected CLAY on the right-hand side, before spelling the spangram of SCULPTURE backwards from the bottom of the board to the top.
Three answers were left to find, starting with BRONZE written in the one remaining gap on the right-hand side of the board.
I then connected MARBLE in the bottom-left corner, and SOAPSTONE at the other end to complete the puzzle.
