Friendship: It Comes in Many Shapes and Sizes

Friendship: It Comes in Many Shapes and Sizes

True friends. You find them in unexpected places, in odd configurations, at times when you weren't really looking. They don't always make sense from the outside. That's the point.

The Work

Friendship is a 3D painting on glass from Jean-Pierre Weill Studios. A small girl in a pink dress stands beside a large purple elephant. The elephant holds an umbrella. Built in layers behind the glass, the two figures exist at different depths, close enough that the size difference only makes the connection feel bigger.

One Line, Perfectly Said

This painting comes with a gift card that contains seven words: friendship comes in many shapes and sizes.

The Best Kind of Gift

Friendship is the kind of best friend gift that doesn't try too hard. It's warm, it's quietly funny, and it says something true without making a speech about it. Handmade wall art for the person with whom you made an unlikely connection.

Collectors drawn to the warmth of Friendship will also find that quality in Giraffe Heart, where the largest heart in the animal kingdom becomes a reminder to reach out, and in Child on Beach, where a small figure and a teddy bear sit together watching the sky and the sea.
