I haven't made one of these in along while but at the trunk show arounna was admiring my stones and asked if I had made any of those specific ones recently. I had not but after hearing it was her birthday a short while ago and a visit to her studio for letter pressing was happening I just knew I had to make her one. They take quite a great many hours to make but I was determined to stay up late into the night to finish it for her before last friday. She has already posted it on her beautiful blog and I have already noticed it popping up in different places (thanks jan and catherine) , so I thought I should at least show the pictures I took before it was hand delivered. The gorgeous stone is from california. You might notice some of my mushroom experiments on the back yard table. I was spore printing and dyeing with mushrooms last week after the rain.
Hey arounna, don't you think those spore prints would make lovely letterpress images?

Arounna is a very lucky girl :) that piece is a piece of art, like all the wonders you create, my friend. And it looks sooooo big too !
I'll give my answer to your question to Arounna, YES spore print would look fantastic letterpress printed ! You blow my mind, as always. xoxoxo hugs

That stone is so gorgeous Margie. You and Arounna seem to feed nicely from eachother's creative energy, how special that is.
I'm hoping my package to you will encourage more of these pretty stones.
Going to Arounna's site gave me a clue that more congratulations are in order for your family, how wonderful!
