You know, the heart motif is really not my favorite. I kind of went with a few ideas because that beaded piece ran across my easily distracted brain!
The little pink heart needed some framing to finish it off. I added some strips to each side, but it still didn’t have quite enough depth to it. My utility fixer, cording, came to the rescue.
It really does add a lot of depth to the “frame.”
It will be mounted on a black canvas and I’ll call it done. Don’t know if I want to try to have a beading class…
And also because I’m not crazy about hearts in general, but because I already had another, larger one prepped, I made one that has nothing to do with pink or red or Valentine’s!
Do you think it needs any little fringe, hang-y down parts?
That is about all the heart stuff I can handle right now. There are other variations I could explore, but I think it will be with some other motif!

The blue piece is beautiful as is. I think the rows of beading make the statement the hangy-down things would for a single row of beads.

The blue piece makes me happy simply because it’s not a red heart! I think shades of turquoise are my favorite part of the blue family. But maybe there’s enough bling without any dangly bits!

Really love the reds for borders. Great. Yes, dangley things are good.

I think I’ll add some hand stitching to the blue piece before I decide on dangly things. Keeping it simple may be the best bet!
