Each heart is hand-carved from soft kisii soapstone, then etched with inspiring words. Expect slight color differences from ones in photo as artisans hand-dye with non-toxic dyes and shades of pink vary.
Soapstone is mined from great pits in the area surrounding Kiisi, Kenya. The mined soapstone is then delivered to carvers who carve sculptures from the natural stone. Once carved, the craftspeople smooth rough edges of the soapstone with sandpaper dipped in water and polish the piece to a high gloss. With every product you purchase, you are helping these artisans have employment, educational opportunities and medical care.
These hearts are simple, but meaningful. I wanted a small gift for a few friends to let them know that they mean a lot to me. So I got 4 of the soapstone heart that said "Thankful".I am thankful to have friends who are kind caring women. We all worked with young children and their hard work was insprational and I felt we all made a difference in the lives of the children and their families! So I wanted them to know how thankful I am to have worked with them! Zee Bee Market is a great place to buy meaningful gifts! Keep up the great work! Mary Boerschig
The pink hearts are beautiful! The messages are so inspiring too. Have to buy duplicates for gifts - can’t part with all my special hearts! Thank you for offering the hearts at a much-needed time!!!!
