  3. Oh Neva, I am enraptured too, what amazing things you have done here with your wrapping and grouping of these stones. They are like poems to me. I want to hold them in my hands. Happy Thanksgiving, I am so thankful for you as well.

  5. Neva,
    What a beautiful collection of rock artworks that you've created here. Each one has it's own magical feel, with peaceful grace and such a unique quality all their own. They are gorgeous alone or in groups. Wonderfully creative- really love good news to me and silence - although start the fire and eternal love catch my heart as well. As you can see, they all touch some part of my heart! Happiest of holidays! xo
