Rock Art

My nephew is obsessed with rocks and stones. Wherever we go, if we pass a good pile of rocks, he needs to stop and fill his pockets with them to the point where they're weighing his tiny pants down. Every time he visits, a new collection appears in a spot he thinks is secret enough to keep his collection safe.

Through him, I've gained a new appreciation for rocks and stones. Shape, color, texture, and sometimes even weight vary so much from pebble to pebble that it's almost impossible not to appreciate their natural beauty. It seems an almost impossible task to improve upon Mother Nature's beauty, but somehow,through paint, crochet, and whimsically named collections,
 these talented folks have.
