Each heart is hand-carved from soft kisii soapstone, then etched with inspiring words. Expect slight color differences from ones in photos as artisans hand-dye with bright, non-toxic dyes not produced by machines.
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.
I gave them to staff for the holidays and they loved them! Beautifully made. Thank you!
I ordered several different hearts online and I loved them so much that I made a trip to the store and purchased some more as Christmas gifts.
What a neat idea! They are all beautiful & inspiring. I’m putting them in a glass bowl so they can inspire me every day! So beautiful to look at / love all the colors!
I love soapstone and these hearts are so vibrant, a wonderful variety of colors and inspirational words, great quality and a great size.
I started collecting the word hearts last year. I love them. The story behind how they are made and the inspirational words so beautifully carved into them, make these so special.
