heart #110 Glitter Heart Inchies

I’m getting ready to send five of these heart inchies off tomorrow for a swap. I showed one of them in an earlier entry before I glitzed them up. They look pretty cool in the bright sunlight we’re having today. I have to say, as much as I like inch-sized art to look at, it’s [...]

Inchie Hearts by Phizzychick

I found these awesome heart art inchies on Flickr. This is the kind of art I wish I could do. Mine always seems to somehow miss the mark. Her sense of color, shading and composition is just perfect to my eyes. Here is Phizzychick’s Flickr bio: “Artist living in Sevilla. I was an art teacher [...]

From the Mystic Voodoo website: “Oshun is the Santeria goddess of love, art and dance. Erzulie Freda is the voodoo loa of romantic love.” (For more about Oshun, visit Voodoomama’s lens Oshun on Squidoo.) Oshun and Erzulie are closely related.

Fellow Iowan “non-runner Nancy” has a blog about training for marathons when you’re not really a runner. She discovered heArt-a-Day and asked if she could use the “Nine Patch heArt Quilt” for a logo for a virtual race she’s organizing. I’ve never been much of a runner so I was happy to oblige. Besides, us [...]

Anti-Heart: How Not to Leave a Comment

Some idiot left this comment on the heart flower pattern entry: “This heart design would translate very well into a textile. Either woven or surface design. I think you could easily lose the funny little bubble things that drift across the page – they are irritating. But the image is lovely.” Holy crap! Are they [...]
