Description
This hanging slate plaque is cut as a heart and printed with a watercolour-style portrait of a black and white cow. She gazes straight out with big dark ears, a soft pink nose and a gentle, slightly quizzical look. The white ground lets the black, grey and pink tones stand out clearly, and the rough, natural edge of the slate frames the face like an old farmhouse sign. It measures 15cm high, 15cm across and just 0.5cm deep, a size that sits neatly on a small stretch of wall without crowding it. A small tag threaded on the cord is printed with the words TILL' THE COWS COME HOME, a cheerful nod to the old saying.
It hangs from a cord looped through two holes at the top, so it needs only a single hook or nail. That makes it suit a kitchen wall, a pantry door, a hallway or the end of a dresser. Being so slim, it also hangs happily from a cupboard knob or a coat peg. The country feel of the print sits well with farmhouse kitchens, painted wood and stoneware, and the black and white palette works alongside almost any colour scheme. As a gift, it is cheerful, slim and easy to wrap, and it brings a little of the farmyard indoors.
The heart is slate, with a white printed face and a white back. Its edges are left rough and natural rather than cut smooth, which suits its country subject. The cord is knotted through the two holes at the back, so it is ready to hang straight away. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft, dry cloth, and lift any marks with a barely damp cloth before letting it dry fully. For a quick country corner, hang it above a row of jugs or beside a small trailing plant.
