"Heart of Christmas" Limited Edition by Houston Llew

Houston Llew Spiritile Limited Edition #305, "Heart of Christmas"

Quote: "In the eyes of children, we find the joy of Christmas; in their hearts, we find its meaning." -Leland Thomas

Every Spiritile is handcrafted in Charleston, from copper, glass, and wood. Finely ground Colored glass is sifted onto copper, then fired by kiln. Before set, the piece is pulled from the kiln and rolled with a heavy metal roller which makes the cracks. This brings light and variety into the piece. Then it is clipped and wrapped around a block of wood for support. "It's like drawing with sand then toasting it on a very hot fire." says Houston.

With all new tiles released, other Spiritiles are retired. They will not fade, and are created to endure for generations. To collectors, Spiritiles visually share the brilliant moments that make up the unique story of life.
