The first half of February has me with hearts on the brain. See, Valentines is not only a super-hyped holiday but my birthday. So I indulge a bit.

That and swirlies can easily be squished a little into a shape other than lentils -

The heart on the right has a little metal leaf swirled in to it. The scanner didn’t capture the subtle (I sanded most of it off, oops) flecks well but it would seem surface inclusions swirl right along with everything else!

Stay tuned over the next week or so – I have more heart related goodness coming up!
