Valentine Heart Swap

Due the my Father's sickness I've had to postpone my commitments but I'm so glad that I've completed the small crazy style heart that I was making for the "Valentine Heart Swap", ETSy Cottage style group. The baggie for my swap partner Char started its long journey several days ago. But, I've just found a time to share its photos here with you. I wanted to put some interesting pieces into Char's baggie. I added a hand made oya brooch along with a handmade daphne soap that has a special place in the Anatolian mythology. According to legends Ladies are used daphne soap to have wonderful long hair, still too many people uses daphne soap to have strong and bright hair. I added another box of soap roses that I loved their color, I thought it will be a nice selection in the baggie. In addition I added four different type handmade beaded trims. I hope she likes my selections.
After completing the embellishments I precisely sewed the borders, I left a small place to put fibers and sewed the rest. All of them are hand stitch, I never used machinery!!!


The size of the little heart is 5". I used pink fabric and I covered front side with an old lace that was a piece of wedding dress. I made a spray with my little oyas, added leaves with dark green color silk ribbons. I like that color ribbon because it is almost the same color with the oya's basement tone so it makes a wonderful combination. I kept continue to add some embellishments. At last I added some bugles with various colors to give different sparky look.
