“Exquisite and beautiful”

I am so pleased I have discovered Novica recently! The soapstone vase is beautiful with its delicate lacy patterns. I lived in India as a child and this vase with its beauty brings back so many precious memories. It makes me so happy every time I look at it. Thank you, Gulam Rasool, for your amazing work!

“Gift for my Maid of Honour”

I love love love the work of this artist. This handcrafted jali soapstone vase treasures was a gift for my Maid of Honour at our wedding. I wanted to thank my ladies with something that took human work and consideration and that shared some natural beauty of our world. I was so glad to be able to give back to the artist too. Wow. This vase is gorgeous, beautifully conceived and crafted, maybe best for dried flowers or a small pot inside to hold water. Forever grateful!

“Beautiful, delightfu!, and meaningful!”

I ordered these in addition to the soapstone carved box. I have a thing for elephants. They are beautifully carved and hold a carving within a carving. There is another smaller elephant just visible within. For me, it symbolically represents each of our species carry the future within, along with the wisdom and the hope to endure and survive. Elephant figurines with their trunks curved down represent wisdom and the abiity to overcome obstacles. I would like to think they speak to the even deeper wisdom carried within.....Ancestral and what is even deeper within us that is available to us to draw upon.
