Valentine's 2023: Love, Loudly.
Love letters, glitter hearts, pink daydreams, and absolutely no intention of being subtle. 💌
By Valentine's Day 2023, I'd clearly decided that hearts could have just about any personality they wanted. Sweet and romantic? Sure. A little retro? Absolutely. Covered in glitter, feathers, pom-poms, or shaped like a slice of pizza? Now we're talking.
There were vintage-inspired rose hearts, dreamy pink marbling, Art Deco-adjacent drama, daisies, Queen of Hearts details, and a whole lot of color. But there were also flying love piggies, little love potions, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a reminder that a sense of humor might be my favorite thing to work into a design.
Looking back at Valentine's 2022, the collection where I'd finally begun to feel established in polymer clay.. I love seeing how that confidence kept growing. The ideas were bolder, the combinations were more playful, and the studio was starting to look very comfortable with its own particular brand of beautiful nonsense. 😂
Roses are red, violets are blue, I made a whole Valentine's collection and somehow flying pigs made it in, too!
