My daughter's boyfriend's sister saw her heart Keychain and would like one so I'm starting some when I have the time.
Here's a dremeled piece of Mary Ellen Jasper from rockjunquie in the VERY early stages....it feels good to get back to grinding, it's been a while.
Thanks for looking.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Thanks Jason!

Our lives got even busier in our house, we took in two more foster kids. Long story, but it's a 14 year old boy and a 12 year old girl, brother and sister.

I like the shape. I find that I like heart shapes that are a little off. In general, I don't like heart shapes and I have never made one, but, oddly, I do like them a little wonky- they have more character.

True- wonky hearts do have more character...
