I don't know why I try, but I do. After tatting Robin Perfetti's Candy Heart yesterday, I decided to try my hand at a button heart. I wouldn't say it's awful, but it's certainly not pretty like Robin's! Part of me wants to try again, and part of me wants to just leave hearts to the experts. I think I'll leave them to the experts!
I think I do better going around in circles!
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I made an icedrop heart a while ago but it didn’t really work for me. I think your more substantial heart would be better. Turn it into an ice drop?
ReplyDeleteI might try again. I think it looks more like Minnie Mouse than a heart. There's nothing wrong with Minnie Mouse, but it wasn't the look I was going for!
DeleteThe heart is lovely
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol. It's just not what I had envisioned. I guess it's back to the drawing board!
DeleteI like your heart!!! :) Each heart has its own personality and someone who will love it!! ;) You did great!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure someone will love it. That someone just isn't me! ;-)
DeleteHearts are very difficult to design. What you don’t see when I make my posts is all of the trial and error, photo editing apps to help visualize where to go next, and learning/building from previous designs. Your heart is actually very good, especially if it is something you put together in one evening!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin! I consider that high praise!
DeleteI agree Hearts are Hard! I have a few favorite patterns I like and little courage to try other patterns. I will have to try this one though!
ReplyDeleteI have several heart patterns that I enjoy tatting. There's really no reason for me to design another!
DeleteI love that heart. Especially the way you did the arches.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vicky! I may play with it so more because of all the encouragement I've received.
