Houston Llew Spiritiles: Thanks

“People may forget what you said and forget what you did but they will always remember how you made them feel.” —Maya Angelou

Every Spiritile has its own story that inspires, uplifts, and brings a hopeful connection to life. Handcrafted in Charleston, each is made with finely ground colored glass that is hand-painted, 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: This quote comes to mind often when considering the significance of relationships. Over the course of your life, people enter and exit, and you may know hundreds or thousands of people over a lifetime. It is easy to lose track of people you’ve known and the things they have said, but when you know someone who has made a great impact upon your life, it’s usually not something they said to you or did for you that comes to mind... it’s the feeling you had while in their presence. That feeling is unforgettable.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
