Sometimes it takes very few words to express deep affection and comfort. This gently flowing soapstone figure holds a bright red heart protectively and lovingly in its arms – a gesture that touches the heart immediately.
Each of these pieces is hand-carved and hand-painted with great dedication in Kenya. This transforms the natural soapstone into a truly unique item that you will never want to put down.
I have added this figure to my range because it radiates so much warmth. It is the perfect little gift for a special person, a loving source of comfort, or simply a beautiful, heartfelt accent for your home.
The soapstone products originate from Tabaka, Kenya, a town of approximately 10,000 inhabitants located about 25 km from Kisii. Soapstone (steatite) is a soft natural stone. The color of the stones varies between white, gray, yellow, and reddish tones, sometimes streaked with beautiful graining. The raw material is mined locally in quarries. The carvers are independent artists who each specialize in a specific product category. Tools used include chisels, knives, scrapers, and sandpaper. The finishing touches—washing the stone, waxing, and polishing—are usually performed by women from the family. This 100% manual craftsmanship results in variations in shape and color.
