With Valentine’s
Day in little under a month, hearts are on my brain.
I was never
really fond of hearts, though I had many requests for them in my jewelry through the years. So, about two years ago, I thought I'd try to make some hearts, but I'd try to do it in my own style. The more I thought of them, and the more I
saw that they all didn’t have to be so “typical” or “standard” the more I began
to like them. They can be tattered and worn, like our hearts may be. They can be bright and full of hope, and
mostly they can have wings (my favorite)
I mean, after all, they represent
love. Love in all its glory…………….. All
its pain…………….. All its strengths………….all its frailty. So I guess you can say I had a change of
heart about them awhile back.
So enjoy
these lovely heart beads below. And while we are on
the topic of love, spread a little today.
The world needs more of it. Say
it proud…………….I LOVE YOU, and know you made a difference. Treasure it, never take it for granted, and
may it always surround you.
LOVE.

You Need Is Love”

So- are you preparing for valentines day in your shop this year?
I am, but I didn't get pics done yet of my progress
What kind of hearts are you drawn to in your designs?
I tend to go for earthy or winged hearts my self.

Yes, "love is all we need"! Thank you so much for featuring my raku heart on the amazing LMAJ blog!
so very very true, staci... i too have come to embrace images of a different kind of heart - just like you...
Awwwww.... I love your heart story! I'm not a fan of hearts either, but you made my creative juices flow thinking about how the standard heart can be transformed.....

I'm drawn to the elongated not symmetrical hearts that are textural myself. Love accents like stitches and wings... These are some beautiful pieces!!!
I ♥ your collection! I'm drawn to elongated hearts in a variety of colors, but not the typical pink. If they are ceramic, I like cool textures. If they are lampies I look for interesting color combos and details.
Love the post! Thank you for including my beads!
I like hearts in all shapes - long and fanciful, or pebble-like and rounded like a bead. Lately, I've been exploring longer heart shapes with a bit of a curl on the tip. I'm also playing with ideas in copper clay (fast becoming one of my favorite medias!).
Love your post, Staci!!!! You are correct, the world needs us all to spread a little more LOVE!!!
I like long thin, assymetrical hearts. Although, I really do like KTotten's chubby heart beads!! :)
Lots of talented artists in this post including our writer ;) I love the hearts you chose for the post! Thanks so much for including me :)
