Black Swiss Cross Handmade Art Wall Hanging by Karen Michel

Looking for a small piece of art with meaning and character? The Swiss Cross Handmade Art Wall Hanging by Karen Michel is a modern folk-style charm designed to bring warmth, symbolism, and creativity to your space. Inspired by traditional apothecary imagery, the Swiss cross symbol evokes healing, protection, and care, making it a beautiful accent for a home apothecary, creative studio, or sacred corner.

Handcrafted using mixed media on wood with recycled aluminum, each piece carries the distinctive artistic touch of Karen Michel’s small-batch studio work. The layered materials and handcrafted finish create subtle texture and depth, giving this tiny artwork the presence of a much larger piece.

Measuring approximately 5" x 5" x .75", the Swiss Cross Wall Hanging is perfectly sized for gallery walls, shelves, or small spaces that need a meaningful artistic accent. It looks lovely displayed on its own or grouped with other pieces from Karen Michel’s handmade charm collection.
