Our Etsy shop got its 500th heart today! This may seem a mad thing to get excited about since it doesn't actually equate to any sales but it makes us feel loved!
Valentine's day is approaching and hearts are good!
Well who can say? My heart-shaped ivy leaf cards have made it into no less than THREE Etsy Treasuries this week!! And yet - they still aren't selling! They are made using two printing blocks, one lino and one polystyrene. I print them onto painted silk, one on top of the other to get more texture. Then the usual machine stitch, hand stitch, bead bead bead!
Well I like them and so do Creative Hook who included a green one in her 'Imagine - a paradox' Treasury West list and The Birds and Bees who added the same card to her 'Green With Envy' Treasury. The lilac one is in the 'Simply Natural' list by Jessijewels in our earlier blog.
