Queen of Hearts

Presenting the reigning monarch of February:

"Queen of Hearts"

My initial inspiration for this piece is the charm bracelet of hearts now featured as her crown.  I can remember buying this charm bracelet years ago while attending an Arts-n-Crafts fair in the Valley.  She looks a tad tired, doesn't she? Is she old? weary?  thinking of the many broken hearts she's witnessed during her reign?  What stories can she tell?

I am slowly catching up ... I think I can I think I can I think I can.
