Shabby Chic Oscar Wilde Heart Stuffie

And Gloria cackled, Let there be sparkle: and there was sparkle.--- The Polari Bible.

“I want some more hock in my seltzer,
And Robbie, please give me your hand —
Is this the end or beginning?
How can I understand?

Dark and Shabby - Flutter Anatomical Fabric Heart

Most of this blog will feature heart-shaped projects. One of my favorite things to make are little hand-sewn mini pincushions.

This one uses an anatomical heart image from The Graphics Fairy. 

I love treating a small stuffie the same way that I might work an art journal page.

Haven't done a lot mixing fiber and metal - seems like it could be problematic over time, but I wouldn't mind seeing this rust actually.
