After making a very complex posed doll, it was fun to make this Sassy Heart.  She’s 22″ long, 12 1/2 of that is her skinny legs.  She’s 9″ at the widest part of her hair.  The hair is made of a super soft Italian viscose, nylon, and poly blend.  It has silver metallic threads amid the soft chenille.  Her face is a hand-painted, needle-sculpted cotton print with metallic gold highlights.  The body and legs are made out of a pink cotton ombre.

I read a book years ago by Gloria Steinem that said that in the earliest cave paintings valentine shape represented female power.  I’ve always liked hearts and was glad to hear there was a least a rumor that it had some symbolic power besides the obvious.  I’ll always see it as the power and whimsy of love.  My friend Sara told me that a collection of heart dolls is a good idea because the heart has many seasons. Isn’t that so true?
