Natural Soapstone Twine Hearts

This sweet small sculpture is artfully hand-carved from a single piece of natural soapstone.  The craftsmanship to take one piece of stone and create two intertwined hearts should be applauded.  The ideal gift for a wedding, an anniversary, an engagement, and Valentine's Day.

• Handmade in Kenya
• Average dimensions: 3 inches for each heart
  
• Expect variations as Kisii stone naturally varies in color from cream to pinkish brown.

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.
