Goofy new Heart design
I was making purple hearts this weekend and wanted to make something that wasn't so...well...serious. Something to really put a smile on their faces. Then it occurred to me that a SMILE would put a smile on their faces. So here is my first attempt.
I have a lot of refining to do before I'm satisfied, but they were so much fun to make that I'm sure that over time I'll work out the details.

Thanks guys. When I think what those little ones go through, it feels good to be able to make something that makes them smile.

I think they are perfect! The smile fits the meaning of the purple heart perfectly!!! That's exactly how they feel when they get that purple heart.

Thanks so much for the encouraging words. I plan on making a lot more of them when time allows, maybe even trying a few with crooked teeth or an overbite. Just need to sketch it all out to see how I could do it. I also thought it would be cute to put some animal faces on the beads...cats, dogs, teddy bears.
