About this Product
Do you have a special place to relax or meditate? What about a Goddess alter or a room with a bath tub?
These incense stick holders are crafted by hand with positive and calm energy.
Triquetra means '3-cornered' and deeply connects with the power of three; it is also known as the Trinity Knot and can represent the triple goddess symbol: Past, Present and Future: Body, Mind and Soul. Or the Celtic concept of Land, Sea and Sky.
It is believed that the Triquetra can protect against negative energy. Use with your favourite incense sticks to create the perfect atmosphere for your space.
I use a terracotta (also a lilac colour shown) coloured premium polymer clay along with a cutter and debosser to create the shape and moon, sun and star design. After baking, I use a chalk effect paint to add accents to the design, before baking again to cure fully.
The holder measures approximately 4"/10cm.
If you have any questions or special requests, please don't hesitate to get in touch: I'm always happy to help in any way I can.
Incense stick and crystals are not included, but I can get you some incense sticks if you're giving as a gift :)
BellesHearts
Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Maxine from BellesHearts, thank you so much for visiting, I hope you find something you love!
Before I began with BellesHearts, I lived in England with my 3 older children, my dogs, cats, goats and chickens. I worked at a local high school as an English Language and Literature teacher - my specialism was working with students with special educational needs and/or social and emotional barriers to learning. These were some of the most amazing and wonderful people I have ever had the privilege of meeting, yet an intense and challenging time. To make a difference, passion, patience, acceptance, tolerance, creative teaching and learning, from both my students and I were paramount.
Then everything changed. I met my husband who lived in PA, we got married and I moved over to the US to live. We have a spirited little boy with whom I spend my days, along with our Goldendoodle, Gracie and our Chiweenie, Floki.
I decided to trade in my creativity in teaching, for creating with my hands. I have always enjoyed working with wood and with fabrics. Inspired and taught by my father - an amazing carpenter, engineer and artist; my mother with her strength and determination and by my maternal grandparents, with their unquestioning belief in me always.
BellesHearts was born and there is nothing I love more, nothing so rewarding as being able to create 'Handmade Memories'; truly unique and special pieces for others to treasure.
How it’s Made
I use premium quality polymer clay, which is both lightweight and durable (it won't break if you drop it)
The shape is cut out and debossed (the indentations/design stamped into the clay)
The clay is cured by being baked; after it's cooled, I apply chalk paint before baking again.
