Made in Flagstaff, Arizona with love and gratitude.
Hello, I'm Brian and welcome to our Radiant Hearts - Etsy shop. We are a family run business. Beginning with myself (Brian), my wife Erica and my Mom (Lynne). I do most of the designing you see here in our shop. Erica is our color goddess, she is responsible for most of the color palettes you see here and paints most everything as well. Lynne is our shipper and Book Keeper.
We began this journey in 2014 right before the birth of our first child, Zuri. I had a desire to create art and jewelry from wood as my main medium. To manifest this dream I needed to invest in a large Laser Cutting machine to accomplish these tasks. In addition, we converted our detached two car garage into a fulltime creative space to house this massive Laser Cutter and our many workstations for fabricating these items. After several months of trial and error on this Laser Cutting machine, I finally began fulfilling my end goal.
Today you can see the fruits of our labors of love. We now host over 180 plus items in our shop. I find deep gratification knowing my art graces homes, temples, yoga studios, shrines, meditation spaces, and creative spaces all over this world. We have something for everyone!
Our process to create each item spans over several days.
Step 1 - Laser cut all pieces needed to complete your order.
Step 2 - Wood staining, then the curing process and proper off-gassing (3-4 days)
Step 3 - Painting
Step 4 - Glueing, Assembling, adding a wood hanger to the back.
Step 5 - Clear coat finish and proper off-gassing (1-2 days)
Step 6 - Carefully pack and ship
Generally, most items have a 1-2 weeks turn around time. Each item that is created in this shop receives my full attention to detail. We also fully insure all items that are shipped, as this provides an extra level of peace of mind.
I hope you have enjoyed reading our little snippet shop history. We truly love what we do here and will continue to make art that delights the senses!
Blessings,
Brian
