this is a 9" x 2" plaque -
------------------
there is nowhere else to go
there is no one else to be
you are home.

a physical shelter can be a place of safety,
of peace and comfort.
as our home is our sanctuary,
the place where we let our guard down (hopefully),
where we hone our beliefs
to take them out into the world
and make it better,
where we welcome both strangers and those familiar to us,
where our most intimate matters of heart, soul and mind are played out -

there can be other places you feel at home.

i feel at home in the woods.

if you wear your skin like a home,
as turtles do, we carry it with us.
home never leaves us.

my metal plaques were designed to place near doorways,
but are not limited to that.
if you want to have this as a hanging for the outdoors,
we can change the mounting.

doors are passages from our private world to the world at large and back. placement there affirms to you and all who enter knowledge of the love, compassion and awakening that guide you and that you share with and extend to others. these honor you and the religion/philosophy of kindness.

to take it one step further, each passage in our home is significant. and different messages might be appropriate in different places.

this heavy-weight copper plaque has been hand cut, textured, filed and smoothed, then hand stamped. patina is applied to give an aged appearance, then buffed, tumbled and sealed two ways to protect the finish.

i have expanded my offerings for folks who find peace in different places and traditions. if there is something you would like to see, please don't hesitate to ask.

plaque measures approximately 9" x 2" or 23 x 5.5 cm

i will include 4 tacks with which to hang the piece.
