repeat in red from all sides and out on location

I am really excited to show you my latest stone from all sides , up close and personal and then a few ( there are many more) pictures of it out on location in the badlands. All my stones seemed right at home there. This is something I want to explore more. Finding areas of geological interest and beauty and photographing my stone or nature collections there. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear about them. 

 

 

 

 

                           

    

Just a little reminder ( or you can just read the last post) this stone is made up of bits of fabric from liberty of london, repeat studio, ink and spindle , little bits I crocheted and a lovely little felt and crochet piece from my friend and first source of crochet inspiration, kjoo.       

More to come , with some dramatic group shots on the red clay.

Your covered stones are so beautiful. I am a crocheter and plan on trying this out when I finish some of the other dozen projects I'm working on . I really enjoy your blog.

after quite 'a day'... repeat in red is a very soothing and appreciated gift to look at!

BTW - where'd your pretty header go??

[Laura C]

I love that stone and would also love to buy one!

... it is hard to describe the beauty you have set before my eyes. I am in awe. Since you asked - have you ever kicked around any ideas of photographing the stones with water? Carolina

these photos are lovely! i love those deep, rich reds.

[Geninne D. Zlatkis]

Absolutely breathtaking! The stone, location and photos!

[Nancy]

oh so beautiful and creative. thank you.

[Lovely World]

So gorgeous. I love seeing the little crocheted flowers - just like the one on the stone you sent me after the other stone I ordered went missing! This is a real gem.

[Cozy Memories]

this is truly one of your best stones yet. they just get better and better.

gorgeous, margie! the reds and greens look so beautiful together. i love how you integrate so many pieces into one lovely whole.

also, someone above suggested photographing your stones with water and i want to second that idea. i know they would look so great.

Just love it! I can't get enough of your stones. They are amazing. I love the fabric and details and their adventures.

Your stones never cease to amaze me. Your creativity makes me speechless. I can't tell you how I look forward to your blog every day. It's the first thing I check before my email! I've just made one of my own stones and I'm addicted, but it certainly doesn't look anything like yours. I definitely need more practice and more stones! Thanks so much for your inspiration!

[Ann]

P.S.
Do you have any suggestions on patterns for making more crochet covered stones? Sorry, but I've been smitten! Thanks so much. :)

The red and that green together... oh. So lovely no matter what background you're using.

Wouldn't it look fetching beneath a stand of Minnesota pines? :D

[Heather Assaf]

Absolutely amazing Margie! Your raw talent is SO inspiring! Your crocheted stones have morphed into beautiful 'fine art'!!!!

[Abbyglassenberg]

I love how the spots and lines in this stone really seem natural, like nature but enhanced. I think that is what art is all about.

Look for the "Roadside Geology" book series for your area to find some neat spots for photographs.

This one is so lovely - it really came together; thanks for showing the process. I can see why you're so fond of this one - really wonderful.
How did you learn to crochet? You've probably mentioned that before (sorry) - I cannot seem to pick this up from a book; I wonder your thoughts on book-learning vs. personal instruction...
