I really hate when the camera just won't get the colors right - the top of this heart is yellow fading into red - it was SCREAMING to be made into a heart! So I had to listen, ya know! I tried to do some kind of feather stitch from my Encyclopedia of Needlework but I totally suck at embroidery. It's uneven and all different sizes, but, eh, I still like it, lol. I did manage to do okay with the French Knots however - I only had to redo the whole thing once due to a unseemly knot! I've made this style heart before but this time I decided to try hammering the metal flat. I have this totally cute and totally functional tiny little anvil and I pounded the heck out of the wire - totally fun. This is for the heart swap over at Doll Street too!
Its a perfect little heart!

Hugs,
I stumbled on your blog this morning and fell in love with it. I have read about everything on it, including your tutorials. I really love your fabric art, too.
Each day I feature a blog on my blog. Today (Mar 4), I'll be featuring yours.
