I couldn’t resist a heart for February’s page. I have various forms of beading on it – and had a great time working on it. 
I made some felt for the background and tried something new. I used the embellisher to make the felt – using a mesh tulle background, then tried some wet-felting techniques to make the finish smoother. I used wool roving and wool scraps and most likely some cat hairs are in there as well. I had help while I worked!
There is bead embroidery – the pink heart – and there is a band of bead weaving and a mother of pearl heart bead. The band of bead weaving was to be part of a necklace, but it really needed to be on this page instead. I tucked all the love and good vibes for Valentine’s Day into the back of my mind as I worked.

Wonderful pages! Colors are so vibrant and one can feel how much you enjoyed working on them.
And, boy, do I know what you mean about cat hairs and the cat helping out . . .

I can FEEL your love and good vibes in this piece… It’s very special when we send positive thoughts into the universe in this way. Awesome!!!
Nothing like a high resolution picture viewed at 100% in Photoshop to show up the cat hairs. No wonder I get to sneezing sometimes!
