Dimensions unframed - 40cm x 20cm x 1.2cm. Dimensions framed - 48cm x 28cm x 4cm.

Limestone - as the base for our artwork we have chosen a natural solid limestone with a warm, creamy colour and soft white undertones. This has been given a tumbled finish (this is a process by which stone is tumbled or vibrated with smaller abrasives to produce an aged appearance) which results in a rough and pitted surface with broken, rounded edges and corners. The stone tablet is then overprinted with distressed typography, which follows the contours of the pitted stone to give a lovely touchy-feely piece of artwork.

Frame - handmade using reclaimed antique Victorian roof timbers. We purposefully retain any defects in the timber to add to the charm and character of the piece. These can include knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks, so each frame is totally unique.

Your unframed bespoke limestone print would look great leaning on a bookcase or mantle. If framed, the print is ready to hang on a wall.

'Baby Gaga' "Babies are such a nice way to start people. Chil­dren rein­vent your world for you. Hav­ing a child is surely the most beau­ti­fully irra­tional act that two people in love can commit. There are three reas­ons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right tem­per­at­ure; it comes in attract­ive con­tain­ers; and the cat can’t get it. Babies are always more trouble than you thought… and more wonderful. A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank­roll smal­ler, home hap­pier, clothes shab­bier, the past for­got­ten, and the future worth liv­ing for. A baby is a loud noise at one end and no sense of respons­ib­il­ity at the other.The worst fea­ture of a new baby is its mother’s singing. Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvi­ous con­fec­tions, chil­dren tend to be sticky. A cry­ing baby is the best form of birth control. People who say they sleep like a baby usu­ally don’t have one. Mak­ing the decision to have a baby — it’s moment­ous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walk­ing out­side your body."

'Wedded Bliss' "The more you invest in a mar­riage, the more valu­able it becomes. Men who have a pierced ear are bet­ter pre­pared for mar­riage. They’ve exper­i­enced pain and bought jewellery. New­ly­weds become oldy­weds, and oldy­weds are the reason that fam­il­ies work. A suc­cess­ful mar­riage requires fall­ing in love many times, always with the same person. Mar­riages are made in heaven. But so are thun­der, light­ning, tor­nadoes and hail. Mar­riage is the alli­ance of two people, one of whom never remem­bers birth­days and the other who never for­gets them. Happy mar­riages begin when we marry the one we love, and they blos­som when we love the ones we marry. Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. The secret to a good mar­riage is under­stand­ing that it must be total, it must be per­man­ent and it must be equal. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hope­ful, and endures through every circumstance. Mar­riage is more than find­ing the right per­son. It is being the right person. A heart in love hears music even when there is silence."

'Midlife Crisis' "Middle age is hav­ing the choice between two tempta­tions and choos­ing the one that’ll get you home earlier. What most people con­sider as vir­tue, when you reach middle age, is simply a loss of energy. Inside every middle-aged per­son is a younger per­son won­der­ing what’s happened. Middle age is when you turn off lights for eco­nom­ical rather than romantic reasons. When you reach middle age you can’t do any­thing everyday. Just remem­ber, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed. Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle. The first sign of middle age is dis­cov­er­ing that the volume knob also turns to the left. Middle age is when you still believe you will feel bet­ter in the morning. At the age of 20, we don’t care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is think­ing of us; at 40, we dis­cover that it wasn’t think­ing of us at all. Middle age is always fif­teen years older than you are. The secret of stay­ing young is to live hon­estly, eat slowly, and lie about your age."
