Love it. Back in the day I created (an abstract I believe?) with the title "I Carry Your Heart".... what are the chances?? Maybe I can find it and post it here.You didn’t really think I was going to let Valentine‘s Day slip past un-appstractifield, right?
ee cummings beautiful ‘i carry your heart’ is up there with the Romantics in ‘best love poems ever’ lists. (and who’s going to argue with a ‘best love poems’ list?) .
Please interpret one line or verse or stanza or image any way you like. And while you’re there, tell us your favourite valentine‘s story [as in a valentine’s memory) or poem or Hallmark greeting card verse?

I Carry Your Heart
LoMob, Iris Photo Suite, Flowpaper
I found it on Flickr, and had even tagged the apps I used. This was created back in ancient times, circa 2012. Might have even been a 3GS, definitely not newer than an iPhone 4.
I memorized this poem to recite at my wedding (lo these many years ago). So it has a very special meaning to me!

Quotes from A A Milne, but I'd prefer to think of them as from Pooh.

We’re going to have the Valentine poem thing going until ImageArt Ann gathers her wits (after winning both MobiColour and APPstract this week) and announces her theme.

All in Procreate
The female outline was from a photograph of my step-granddaughter - she was choosing her prom dress. The words are from a photo of some graffiti. The rest was made using Symmetry in Procreate. I’ve had something similar printed onto a velvet panel. It’s lovely.

I was inspired by a company called Timorous Beasties that produces slightly wacky fabrics and wallpapers of their own design. And the company that prints onto fabric etc is called Bags of Love - lots of different sorts of fabric to choose from and the quality is very high.
