HOUSE OF HOPE - Simple Soul Stamped Tile Wall Hanging

Description

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all....."
emily dickinson

In my quest for simplicity in my clay work I have started to create smaller and more organic looking clay pieces using stamps, colored stains and just a few glazes here and there. I hope you like it as much as I love creating these little works of positive art.

~*~*~*~HOPEFUL INFORMATION~*~*~*~
This beautiful tile wall hanging is made from rolled out stoneware clay that has been hand stamped with a vintage textile block from India that is about 100 years old,(and carved out of pear wood!), as well as some antique letterpress stamps for the word HOPE.

I have applied stains to the bisqued clay and then rubbed them off here and there to give the piece a rustic look, then I added a few colored glazes to accentuate the stamped design. It has been fired a second time with a clear matte glaze to protect it and create an inspiring piece that can be hung indoors or outside in a protected area. The hanger is made from recycled copper wire and strung with tiny glass beads of varying colors.

The hanging is 7 1/2" long (including the wire) and 7" wide and signed and dated on the back by yours truly.

Thank you for stopping by!
Peace and smiles....Kristin
