Quote:"I like to have a martini, two at the very most. Three I'm under the table, four I'm under the host." - Dorothy Parker
Houston's spiritiles capture the spirit of the enlightened moment, and share that moment of light with the world. The stories borne on their golden sides are timeless words of wit and wisdom...those AHA! moments of life. Spiritiles are hand painted on copper in finely ground glass, then fired by kiln at 1500 degrees. It's like drawing with sand, Houston says, then toasting it on a very hot fire.
Spiritiles easily wall hang or stand alone. These wonderful artworks will never fade or tarnish and may be enjoyed in sunny or humid spots where other art may not endure.
