The Foamborn Heart (Aphrodite Block)

A tribute to Aphrodite rising from seafoam: rolling eyelet waves and sculpted twisted stitch ridges cradle a single heart worked bottom-up from the point. The motif is clear, modern, and blocks to crisp definition—perfect as a feature square for any heirloom throw.
