Description
This hanging heart slate plaque carries a soft watercolour blue tit, perched on a slender pink twig with its blue cap, white cheeks and sunny yellow breast set against a white face. Little speckles of blue and pink paint scatter across the heart around it, as though flicked from a loaded brush, which keeps the whole piece light and lively. A small tag hangs from the cord on the right shoulder, printed with the words HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE. The heart is 15cm high and 15cm across and only 0.5cm thick, so it sits neatly against a wall or door, and its edges keep the naturally uneven, layered break of the slate.
Hang it wherever you would like a cheerful touch of the garden indoors: beside the back door, on a kitchen wall, at the top of the stairs or above a shelf in the hall. The printed words suit a home that feels well loved and lived in, and the bird's blues and yellows sit as happily with sage, cream and duck egg schemes as with plain white walls. At 15cm across it is small enough to group with framed prints or to hang on its own on a narrow stretch of wall. It also makes a thoughtful little gift that is easy to wrap and simple to hang.
The cord threads through two holes near the top of the heart and is knotted at the back, giving a ready loop to hang from a nail, a picture hook or a door knob. Slate is a natural stone, so the surface texture and edges vary a little from heart to heart. To keep it looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. We like it hung on a cupboard door with a sprig of greenery tucked behind the cord, or beside a framed print in the same soft blues.
