Houston Llew Spiritiles: Combination (Retired)

“A soulmate has locks to fit your keys and keys to fit your locks.” —Richard Bach

Every Spiritile has its own story that inspires, uplifts, and brings a hopeful connection to life. Handcrafted in Atlanta, each is made with finely ground colored glass that is handpainted, fused to copper in a kiln at 1500 degrees, and then wrapped around a wooden frame (see more here). Spiritiles can be hung on the wall or displayed freestanding, and withstand direct sun, humidity, and even outdoor conditions. Care and hanging information here.

Artist Statement About This Piece: Soulmates work in a strange and beautiful way. Instead of one lock and key, they work like dual locks! In order to have a soulmate, you must also be theirs. It is this interlocking connection that is undeniably unique. Soulmates don’t have to look like each other, their locks and keys may seem wildly different, but they work together all the same. When you find that one of a kind combination with another soul, it feels as though you are seen and heard by someone else and yourself all at once. You can’t help but feel joy when you connect with your soulmate—whether they are your eternal friend or your partner for life—and love is always on the tip of your tongue when they are around.
