Wool Heart with Stitched Tulip

A 6 1/2" wool heart with a cross stitched tulip. The wool I used for this heart is a wonderful hand dyed red which I stuffed with wool snippets for a nice heavy antique feel. The cross stitch tulip in a pot is my own design and stitched on a 32 count tan linen measuring 3 1/4" by 2 1/2". I added a hanger with the same hand dyed wool by attaching 2 bone rings to the top. The strap is stitched onto the rings with two old buttons. Shipping is $4.00 and comes from a smoke free home.

It is firmly stuffed with a mixture of sawdust, ground walnut shells, and lavender, giving it a nice soft scent.
