Houston Llew Tile - 235 Aspire

"The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." Vince Lombardi

The Story Behind This Tile

Suspended above the earth, partway through the ascent, a dangerous question enters the mind: Am I prepared to make the summit? Despite the readying before the climb, doubts about our capacity to reach the top creep in. When we imagine the person at the top of the mountain, what we see is the summit and accomplishment. What we often miss is the mental struggle of solitude and doubt during the climb. Being so close to the mountain the climber is blind to what lay above, but sees so much behind and below to tempt turning back. To succeed we must have faith and take the next visible steps.

Details & Dimensions

Release Date: May 1, 2019

Collection: Summer 2019

Made by hand with USA-sourced copper, glass enamel, and a custom wood box frame. 

5¼" x 8½" x 1¾" - akin to the size of a novel.

CARE: Enamel artwork is best polished with household glass cleaner and a soft cloth. 

DISPLAYING: These delicate yet durable artworks are made to last, resist fading, shine under light, and fire up a meaningful conversation. Spiritiles can stand up on a flat surface or hang on a prized wall. They can stand alone, but love company. Each piece is sized the same to mix and match for a collection that tells your story. 

HOW TO HANG: Drywall screws work great! When affixing the screw, leave a ¼" lip to rest the frame's hollow on the screw head. The art will sit securely and flush with the wall. When hanging multiple pieces, the ideal spacing between screws is 7¼" horizontal and 10½" vertical.
