I've been working hard on finishing up the Rose Emoji and updating the Conversation Heart, Conversation Heart Pack, and Kawaii Heart designs, not entirely too late for Valentine's Day. Whew!

The original singleton Conversation Heart is now basically what the old Pack was: having created the nameless utility that processes multi-option designs, I don't have to put much work in to making a lot of options that vary only in text. Instead, I can put that work into making separate, unique designs. That's what I've done here: the full Pack now has a Cupid arrow, a circle sign, and a bunting.

The Kawaii Heart has actually had all its variations for some time, but it didn't have the actual samples and pictures to show it: in addition to the original "nub" arms and legs, the heart will have a plain-heart version, a sew-in arm/leg version (for yarn limbs, or ones swiped from, say, the Kawaii French Fries which, yes, is also due for freshening-up (and a simple charm version).

Today's a rough day for a lot of us, so all I'm going to say about that is that I added one last-minute sentiment to the Convo Hearts, inspired by the words the newly-late David Lynch put in the mouth of a character he himself played, speaking to a trans character about her transition.

It fits so many situations, these days. And so:

I debated about adding a second "OR DIE" sentiment but then I'd be tempted to pair it with, say, the "TEXT ME" heart. Or maybe the "GO AWAY" heart for a door wreath? That seemed a bit too far, but the SVG source is there (as always) so it's pretty easy to do that yourself.
