Another new Free Standing Lace design, Language of the Heart , is available at the bottom of this page. It comes in two sizes and is only $5. Though many interpretations can be given to this design, my first thought when I saw it was a mother teaching a child about hope.
A new Free Standing Lace design, A SEED OF HOPE, is available at the bottom of this page. It comes in two sizes and is only $5. These would be great hanging in your window to remind you Hope always rises or give one to a friend to boost their spirits.
Tears fall, join with others, hit the ground, sprout life and become flowers of hope.
These designs are based on artwork by Danish artist, Rise Houen. In her words: “I like the harmony in soft figures that forces the brain to find the rhyme and ...the lines that always start over and over again.......i seek that when i draw... the lines go back and forward...slowly in rhymes...and i find peace in having them on my wall and letting the eyes follow the lines....and that what other have said too...they are calm...I have for many years been fascinated by the forms of tears, drops, long soft lines and turning bad emotions into hope.”
Rise and I have been friends since I started my Embroidery business. Her sense of humor and love of life made all of our communications great fun. But it is only recently I learned of all the health problems she has had all her life. You can read about Rise and her battle on her web site: http://chamberforrise.info/ I will be donating 100% of the purchase price of your designs to her for her Chamber.
These designs would make wonderful gifts for friends that are having problems or have conquered a life challenge. Or display your hope on clothing, totes or handbags. Crystals among the tears will highlight Rise's belief that from all tears hope will spring.
The artwork for these designs remain the property and copyright of Rise Houen. You may use the designs on items for sale with a note of her name as the artist.
