Oh, thanks, yes, i drew it myself -- ages and ages ago at this point. It's influenced by Broa style, a Viking era design period.
I'd had a pendant as a teen of a stylized bird silhouette with a heart cut through the silver and a small eye. For me, wrestling with undiagnosed depression, that was a comforting symbol. I thought of it as a phoenix and that i would be able to survive the destruction i felt. This is an echo of that pendant, with a far more pronounced eye balancing the heart, witnessing-seeing-observing seeming important as well as love to who i am.
