pebbles

Ahh, it is spring. It is also Pesach (Passover). I have been cleaning and polishing. My studio got an overhaul and I found some canes of indeterminate age (10+ yrs). Between coats of polyurethane finish to the bath and kitchen floors I made pebbles.

Why rocks? They are mindless. Fun. And a versatile design element. Over the years I have seen many techniques for pebbles/stones. I decided to simply reduce old canes and the bars of mixed waste clay I have. And you see the results.

Don’t think I did not have myself in mind for the holiday season! Thinking spring I decided on a cotton lace beret and sweater. It is 50 and heavy rain!!!  The beret is finished and I am very happy with it. Won’t be wearing it and am not finishing the sweater just yet. I’m working on a very white, very warm mohair shawl!

Wishing all an enjoyable holiday.
