6x6 Coming & Going

Description 6x6 Coming & Going is based on Charley Harper's larger illustration, 'Once There Was a Field,' created in 1974 to accompany an article of the same name published in Ranger Rick. We love the artist's description of a busy, blooming field teeming with life: 'It was a wondrous world. Birds. Blooms. Bugs. Butterflies. A breeze. Bees buzzing inside buttercups. A bluebird, killdeer and quail chasing grasshoppers on a glorious morning among morning glories. The sounds are long past hearing. The scents are past savoring. The sights are past seeing, but live forever in a picture.' —   Charley Harper (1922–2007) Motawi tiles are striking art pieces and installation accents. Each tile is made by hand and with heart in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We embrace variation and handmade beauty: Our time-honored methods produce a nuanced range of color with depth and translucence. Actual Tile Size: Approximately 5 7/8” x 5 7/8”. As each Motawi tile is crafted by hand, dimensions may vary slightly by up to 1/16". Tiles are 5/8" thick and have a notch at the back for hanging. Easels Easels are an elegant option for art tile display. Fabricated from powder-coated steel, our easels are locally made and feature durable single-piece construction. Medium easel: holds any unframed tile larger than 3 inches (recommended for most of our tiles if unframed). Large easel: holds any framed tile or any unframed tile larger than 4 inches. Small easel: holds 3 and 4-inch tiles (unframed). Frames Our quarter-sawn oak frames, handmade by Dard Hunter Studios, are available with a natural Oak or Ebony finish. They can hang horizontally or vertically, or perch on our large easels. Frame features include mitered corners and stapled joints. This frame’s outer dimensions are 9-1/2" x 9-1/2". Frame width is 2". Any framed tile can pair with our large easel. Note: Frame woodgrain and stain opacity varies.
