I can’t quit it. I just love this simple shape so much. I was working on a project for a friend today, and before I knew it, I was painted my heart made of triangles. I played with watercolors and added a little gold foil here and there. It’s not quite what I imagined in my head, but I still had fun with it.
For those of you that are new readers of Oleander and Palm, I thought I’d dig into the archives and share some of my angular Valentine’s ideas from last year.




As much as you love your geometric hearts, I would love to see what else you can do. I love diversity and it appears you are stuck on the same thing. Sorry, I don't usually say much but as one of your readers who pops in and out I have to be honest. -Jules-
Thanks for the input. I am working on some new ideas for this year. The cross stitch heart pattern will appear again this season 🙂 Stay tuned for more (hopefully fresh) ideas.
I have to disagree with Anonymous—I was just going to say how impressed I am with how many ways you are able to reinvent this design! The watercolor version is so beautiful, I love the organic element it adds to the geometric shapes. Lovely!
You are so sweet Marlene. I don't want to be stuck in a rut, but I do have fun with this shape.
