Hearts -- What they should be

Here is the picture for what I am looking for in heart beads: You want to wear it with lace.

This is what I meant by squiggles on heart beads. Isn't it pretty? However, I would like the heart flatter (flattened slightly with graphite paddles):

is bor-ing in pink, but the design would work great on a creamheart (hint hint):

heart is too little. The actual beads are STUNNING:

skip the heart in this auction. See the cream roses on clear? Imagine that on a heart, and then ETCH it. Now wouldn't that begorgeous?

but no cigar. The designs on the beads should be on the heart,DUH (just for me, feel free to have your own opinion). The squigglesthat are on the beads would be perfect on this heart:

Oh yes, Dana's heart! Or one of Gemfox's decorated beads but in heart shape. I wonder if Heather at Bliss would have something similar on her website?. Oh!! that Valentine set! (But it's her blue set that's the temptation for me). Wonderful turq by Milagros!!

Thank you for sharing.

Mmmmmmm - lots of great advice here.....going to try really hard not to actually copy anything, but to make hearts that follow some of this advice. :) I love making hearts lately. :) I am so glad to be home and ready to make beads again!!

Well, the samples I saw were gorgeous, so I'd say you've developed the knack...

I find the shaping rather meditative... and I've been thinking it would be perfect for organic designs. Would anyone be interested in organic hearts, though?

Oh, yeah, I think so, sure.

I've seen a couple, though it was a while back and I don't remember who or where. Also someone does "sacred hearts" (with the crown and flames) which is a little more anatomical. Personally, I think I'd find a heart to be at least as appealing if it were more organic.
