My first heart design is finally finished, after several Valentine cards, a box of chocolate turtles, a bouquet of flowers from my Webmaster (No. 1 son), and the flu. When the going gets tough, the tough keep stitching!
I followed through on my last plan, adding Scotch stitches in Kreinik #12 tapestry braid 061 to the squares inside the diamonds, and am happy with the results. The hearts really have disappeared considerably. When you catch the heart image, it's as a reflection of the one above it, and that's about it. But that doesn't bother me--I rather like the subtlety. I'll leave the more ostentatious representations to Hallmark.

Ann,
This leaves me very "reflective" (grinning)
Pierrette =^..^=
It's very pretty - but you mentioned the hearts were lost. Funny - I had not noticed at first when you drew it that they were hearts anyway - I just saw a very elegant filagree design. But - the heart thing is very clever!!
