Beady Valentine Wishes to You!

Rosie, The Uncaged Hen, detail, sculpture by Robin Atkins

Happy Valentine's Day to each of you! May your day be filled with the blessings of many heart connections, and may you feel the creative spendor of all the hearts linked together within our blogging community!

I use hearts in my work so often (heart figures, heart-shaped beads, fabrics with printed hearts) that you'd think it would get boring. So far it hasn't, at least not for me. Speaking from and through our hearts is such powerful stuff. I love it!

Here are a few hearts for you. They talk from my heart about how much I appreciate you for being in my life in this special artistic way! My love to you on this day, and always... Robin

    Thank you for all these lovely hearts. Part of the charme, for me, was the recognition effect in several cases, with Rosie, the Uncaged Hen, leading the parade ...

    Heartfelt greetings,
    Sabine

  11. Robin, I've been under the weather for a couple of days but I'm trying to catch up with everyone. I love all your hearts. They're just beautiful. Anyone could look at your work and know that you put your heart into everything you do.
