There is nothing 'traditional' about this!

I have been playing again! Not only with needle and thread but also with our camera! Isn't it great that we live in such a time where there are so many opportunities available. Not only creatively but also in our daily lives. If we have eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to recieve, opportunities present themselves to us daily.
I read a saying recently that goes something like this:


'Life presents many opportunities to us every day. Like strings on a musical instrument.... ready to be plucked.
All it takes is for us to pluck those strings to make the music that is uniquely ours.'


I don't know the author of the original saying. Whoever it is, I hope they will forgive me for presenting my take on it.

A Fabric Heart

A heart created from black felted knitting.

The pinky-red velvet was machine stitched on.

The upper photo shows my not so neat stitching on the satiny fabric
on the back of the heart.

Some beads form a 'tail.'

I like the rugged look of this.

Felted Hearts

I love heart shapes. You can do so much with them. There are no hard lines to work with.

The strong symbolism of love is very needful in the true sense of the word.
I liked the colour combination of these hearts. Not your usual feminine colours!
There's a fabric bead in between the buttons at the bottom. Not easy to see in the photo.
