This funky, miniature piece of hoop art shows a sequined and embroidered sacred heart with embroidered flames in shades of pink, orange, red, and yellow. I designed and hand-embroidered the heart on black muslin. I used metallic thread to outline the heart and to make the flames . The heart glitters and shimmers.
If you would like to purchase a 12"-long (24" circumference) bronze-colored metal ball chain (shown in a few pictures), YOU MUST SELECT THE CHAIN OPTION FROM "VARIATIONS" or you will only receive the hoop.
The mini wooden embroidery hoop is a 2" x 1 rectangle (not including the frame which adds about 1/8 inch). It can be hung from the screw fixture at the top, placed on an altar, carried like a milagro (or charm), or put on a chain (I will be offering some actual pendants of these designs). The back is covered in wood, so none of the knots and reverse stitchwork show. To learn more about my process, please visit https://etsy.com/shop/SnapdragonOriginals/about
No single Snapdragon offering is exactly the same. Each is stitched, embroidered, beaded, and embellished by hand. The details vary and come alive each time I sit down to craft a new piece. Snapdragon creations are unique artworks, special, magical, and powerful. I spend a great deal of time selecting the colors, textures, and details to include in each artwork. I want my creations to leave you feeling passionate, enlivened, and emotionally connected.
NOTE: The photos in this listing are of a representative hoop, not the exact hoop you will receive, so there will be slight variations. If you are concerned, I can always take a picture of the exact hoop you will receive.
