February 2014 Component of the Month...Fluttering Hearts!

Hi dear readers!  I jumped in and signed up to host the February Component of the Month challenge, here at AJE!  I decided to go with hearts!  Yes, I know hearts are a bit cliche for February, but I promise, my hearts are anything but cliche!

Here are a few I created for this challenge!  All hand-fabricated copper, with enamel and glass frit....


All  hearts are just over an inch in diameter and are organically formed of copper, enameled and embellished with glass frit.  Connector holes are varied...3 for a y-shaped connector, 2 vertical holes, 2 horizontal holes, 1 hole for straight top hanging, and 1 hole for a skewed hanging.

Would you like a chance to create a design with one of my hearts?  I will be giving away 3 hearts to random designers.  Please leave a comment below if you would like a chance...I will choose a heart for you, similar to the pictured ones above. You must have a blog, commit to creating a jewelry design with the offered component, and blog about your design during the designated blog hop date which will be on the last day of the month, or thereabouts (subject to change via the AJE blog).  I will choose the winners and announce them on Wed, 1/29/14!! Good luck!

    Those are super fun, Melissa! I especially like the way you put 3 holes in some of them... gives you some options for how to incorporate them into the design. I'd love to play with one of your hearts. Thanks for the chance!

    I would love to win one of those lovely, and unique hearts - they are so different! A good thing when it comes to such a familiar shape. Such gorgeous colours =) My blog (which is very new!) is here: http://bluemerlincreations.blogspot.ca/

    Spectacular Melissa! I love the fluttery edges, they make me think of petunias! The glass frit is a stroke of genius, and I love the slightly domed shape.

    I love your enameled hearts! I fell in love with enameling myself about a year ago after purchasing my first torch. I have worked with earthenware clay for over 30 years, but I love the instant gratification that the torch provides. I would love to give a whirl to designing around one of your lovely hearts. www.creativeclaycafe.com ...deb

    I could really do with a New Year creative boost! Been out of the blogging game far too long, and these look just the ticket!

    These are gorgeous and I agree that having the three holes makes them very versatile - my mind is racing with ideas already!
    I'm also new to the blogging world but am loving finding new bead and component artisans. I hope I can be part of this awesome challenge :)
