Don't just go with the flow. Settle down on the crust. Imagine a world without any crust. There would be no pies, just goopy filling, no bread, no hamburger buns, and no you or me. That's right. You, and every living thing we know of, live on or in the Earth's crust. BILL NYE ( the science guy)
Of course the rocks and minerals are a very important universal part of that crust. In that way they connect us all. I guess that must be why I love holding them in my hands and creating with them. Some are covered, some works in progress and some are naked.
Happy family day ( a somewhat new holiday tradition in Ontario)!!! But really isn't everyday family day.
Those are a few new covered stones with images I am experimenting with this weekend. Soon I hope to have enough for a little spring etsy shop update.
I sense a different quality to these photos - I really like the top one. I often think about how OLD rock is. Much of it has survived more wear and tear than I could even begin to imagine. Solid, quiet, enduring.

I like the yellow one in that heart. I may need to start making some of my own, but alas, yet another thing on the "the list."

I wish you could give a tutorial for these covered stones - I am a crocheter, but not skilled enuf to come up with patterns of my own! Thanks in advance!
