Stone Markings for Halloween

Marking a grey stone with rusty coloured threads

One of my favourite colour combinations.

 Strange shape

Strange markings

Perhaps appropriate.... it being Halloween today.

Don't you think that stone

looks like a piece of crumpled paper?

It looks more delicate than my heavy handed interpretation

in this photograph.

And how about looking at the world upside down?

A boomerang from an Australian point of view!

This was fun

A bit like Tiptoeing over a brown speckled egg.

Considering the background painting,

I wish I had stitched my marks with rust again.

Have a great day

Put your mark on it!

A Week of Mark Making With Needle and Paintbrush

Gentle Grey

Gentle Soul

Gentle thoughts

My favourite for this week.

Last week I had the privilege of participating

in a workshop given by Leya Evelyn.

Thank you Leya

 How does a stone get a gentle glow of a mark like that?

 Whoops

the secondary marks I made

(only five insignificant stitches)

must have been on the other side of this one!

Love that single black speck of a mark.

Slice of pie

And at some time in it's life

someone took a bite out of this one.

Counting Stones

This pretty little flat stone is number 281.

That's if my math is right.

I don't have that many fingers!

282

Moving right along to a speckled ruby red.

283

What.....more pink!

I'm liking this one.

284

Another case of Nature stitching marks

way more beautifully than I.

285

Random rusting

286

I am really fond of rust stained rocks.

287

A mammoth of a stone.

Makes me think of a Nautilus.

Well, it is kind of fossil like.

This week Diane, Grace, Sherry and I

went down to Ste. Anne University

on the French Shore

where Nadine and another Diane

taught us about silk screen printing.

Oh, well

There is obviously a lot more to learn!

This week Handy Hubby and I received our flu shots

Now Handy Hubby has the flu!

Or at least a reaction to the needle.

78 stones to go.

Happy stitching

Playing Catch-up after Friend-filled Thanksgiving

We gathered friends around us and celebrated Thanksgiving.

Thank you all for enriching our lives.

Now I'm playing Stone Pathways catchup.

Wonder if stones enjoy the company of friends too.

Or are they lonesome creatures

despite spending their lives

surrounded by millions of others

along rocky shorelines.

I simply love this one!

Enjoy

Keep on Rocking!

A rock party on the Fundy Shore

Basalt flat rocks watching the tide go out.

A beautiful sunshiny day clambering over rocks.

Patchwork stone

Born with a beautiful birthmark.

Simply handsome.

Can a stone be old fashioned?

Perhaps this stone was born among the clouds.

I like that idea.

Tiny enough to be stitched in thread.

Grey elegance.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada!
