| ...this began years ago as I, like so many others, would become enRAPTured by certain stones, connecting with their spirits/markings/shapes/colors and carrying them away with me to make my stacks and altars at home. |
 |
| Eventually, I became compelled to find ways to join certain stones together |
 |
| and to enhance others... |
 |
| IN REVERENCE FOR |
 |
| what Nature had created. |
 |
| my Lake Michigan shoreline stones soon found good company with other elements such as vintage papers, quartz, fossils, turquoise, pyrite, obsidian, leaves... |
 |
| and were secured with wires, waxed threads, beeswax, rattan, fabric strips |
 |
| and text: Pablo Neruda, of course, E. Meloy's quotes from the Anthropology of Turquoise, and me. THIS COLLECTION IS LEAVING TOMORROW FOR THE SHOP AT FOLIO'S. (Saying good-bye to them as I took the photographs and packed them up) |

ReplyDeleteHi Neva, I have been away on a trip to Hawaii to visit my family and actually complained about the heat there until I came home to freezing temps and snow and ice! Your wrapped stones are getting better and better-- more complex and minimal at the same time-- I especially love the bamboo wrapped one- and I love the book ANTHROPOLOGY OF TURQUOISE-- what a beautiful writer.
ReplyDeleteTruly magnificent, each stone, each construction.
ReplyDeleteStones that speak to me. Each one a new story unfolding.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful creations.
