    Oh wow, those baby spermhearts are amazing! Imagine the conversations they would strike up if you wore one of those around your neck. :)

    I LOVE them!

    I fell in love with this work when it was shown in London last year. It really is amazing and its great to see it here on whip up! There were some great cat brooches I remember. Love it.
    thanks for reminding me about it!

    I took her class at the 92nd Street Y a few years ago. She taught us to crochet a heart, and we had a lot of fun. I don’t know if she teaches it every year or if it was a special class, but I recommend it if you get a chance to take it.
