Seller's description

L.R. Knost quote print featuring the beloved "Life is amazing and then it’s awful" passage, beautifully handcrafted with shimmering gold foil. This inspirational wall art celebrates the beauty, difficulty, and fleeting nature of life, making it a meaningful gift for anyone navigating life's highs and lows.

Each print is personally handmade by me in my studio, using a process where thin sheets of metal are fused to paper under high temperature and pressure. This technique allows for the addition of real gold and silver to artwork. The letters sparkle when they catch the light!

You have the option of purchasing this print framed or unframed. Framing will include the frame, matting, real glass and hanging hardware. The artwork will arrive ready to hang on the wall – or give as a gift – right out of the box.

This was the MOST beautiful gift! Not only was the print exceptionally beautiful the seller took a great deal of effort and artistry in wrapping the gift. I bought it and framed it for a friend's birthday and she was absolutely taken back by the beauty of the gift. The foil writing against the blue backdrop was stunning. Highly recommend this artist and seller! You will not be disappointed!
