Framed

I wanted to take some more pictures of some of my covered stones before sending them off on a big adventure to NYC so I got out that old distressed vintage frame that you have been seeing in some of my pictures lately. Why is it that some of the oldest, things in the worst shape are some of the best subjects for photography. I guess it is what flickr calls interestingness. My children have become so accustomed to seeing me shoot pictures of worn out things that my daughter turned to me at our local rummage sale yesterday with a very rustic old strainer in her hands and said this would look really cool in a photograph with some of those things you make mom. Or course we bought it for 10 cents. Tomorrow, I will be unveiling my latest sewing project, the forest fern castle on a linen top. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sun will be out tomorrow for the photographs and for a little walk in the forest. I think just about all the leaves will be on the ground and their should be so much more light along the paths.

I am enjoying the little christmas
tree like thing that you put
your stones on. Very holiday~ish.
At first I thought it was the
old strainer that your daughter
found because of the over photo...
very surprising. Even after the
snow your forest is lovely!

I can't wait to find out where the stones are going. And that frame really is the the best thing for photographing your beautiful rocks. I will have a think about the mushroom swap and tell you what I come up with!

Your covered stones are just incredible. I'm so jealous. You have the most amazing talent! I love that large one in the photos. I wish I had the patience for something like that! Oh, and the frame...sigh (simply gorgeous).

I love the rocks in the frame! Very cute!

Your stones are so beautiful. I like the juxtaposition of the delicate threads on the hard stones. I will show my complete ignorance and ask if it is crocheting or knitting?

Such beautiful covered stones! You really have the most wonderful inspirations and ideas.

I can't believe I haven't found you before, but I cannot get over the beauty of your crocheted stones. I MUST learn to crochet now, just so I can cover the bazillion stones I have saved in jars, that I stack to take photos of... Oh, the inspiration!!

I love the pictures in the frames! I'd buy a print of those cropped close.

Those are really beautiful images- the framing works really well!

Old beat-up stuff does work well in photography; perhaps a combination of the texture they give and the fact that we just like them. :)
