Calla Lily

ABOUT THE ART: 

Calla lilies are one of my favorite flowers, not just because of their beauty, but because they are, in my opinion, the flower of nostalgia. It is a popular flower in the hands of a bride walking down the aisle and covering a casket when we pass into the afterlife. Calla lilies are used in both events because they are a symbol of beauty, but also a sign of rebirth and resurrection. The stories of a wedding and new life together are ones that are reminisced when that life is over. The times shared and the positive and negative events of our lives all add to that sense of sentimentality that we all share.

I love this piece because I wanted to create a piece that shares my love for these amazing simple and elegant flowers. The beauty in their simple form is a symbol of the moments of our lives. “Calla Lily” is an 8″ x 8″ ceramic tile, hand-painted in shades of purple, grays and greens.

DETAILS AND CARE OF PIECE:

This beautifully versatile piece looks great:

• Displayed on an easel indoors or outdoors in areas such as a living room, entryway or even on your porch or patio,
• Hung in a beautiful frame onto a favorite wall in your home,
• Or even more exciting, installing this piece in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry as a permanent piece that can be enjoyed for years.

Each of my tiles are primed with 2-3 coats of gesso, painted in acrylics and is finished with epoxy resin, making it a very versatile piece that is heat, cold and moisture resistant.

This piece is backed by a thick layer of black felt. This gives the tile extra stability but care is needed because it is ceramic tile and capable of breaking.

To clean, wipe with a damp cloth.

Orders are processed 1-2 days after purchase. Each order is shipped FREE by USPS Flat Rate 2-3 Day Shipping.

Please Note: I try to photograph in the best lighting possible, so colors can vary based on the electronic devise. Some photos are taken without resin applied because lighting can sometimes cause a glare to the tiles. But, rest assured, your finished piece will have a beautiful, shiny resin finish.
