No idea why these prehistoric handprints in the caves make me feel Things but they do, whenever I see them. I even remember watching Brother Bear as a kid and being hypnotized by the imagery, lol. Painted river pebbles, will make two macrame pendants with rough stone beads with them
All my fellow pebble enthusiasts shall eat well soon when I'm done.
I'm participating in a map and am about a quarter of the way done with my part (im not avoiding a turnaround or anything haha.. ha....)
So here's a little peek before the finished product comes out sometime soon! :]
Сила и воля новорожденных черепашек невероятна-необходимо не только вылупиться из яйца, но и выбраться из грунта. Для этого черепашкам требуется коллективное действие. Ведь глубина кладки чаще всего больше 40 см. В одиночку на поверхность не выбраться. Чем больше черепашек в кладке, тем быстрее путь на вверх. А затем очень быстро, опасаясь нападения хищников добраться до водной стихии. Но и в воде не всё спокойно. Немногие из них вернуться на этот пляж взрослыми, чтобы оставить уже своё потомство.
The strength and will of newborn turtles is incredible - it is necessary not only to hatch from the egg, but also to get out of the ground. To do this, turtles require collective action. After all, the depth of the masonry is most often more than 40 cm. You cannot get to the surface alone. The more turtles in the clutch, the faster the way up. And then very quickly, fearing attacks from predators, get to the water element. But not everything is calm in the water. Few of them return to this beach as adults to leave their offspring.
These embroidered stones give me great joy. They are also poking me - I have a continuation of this series in mind. Maybe after Christmas. And after I finish working on my current online course. And my submission to the petite textiles exhibition and...
Anyway. I thought these were a good way to wrap up my 2023 top twenty makes. I enjoy working with stones very much: it's a response to the the earth/Earth that I love and depend upon. I enjoy the contrast between the soft and hard, the manmade and the natural, the grid and the curve.
And now back to my regular stream of random new things I'm making.
Hugs to you all. Being on tumblr again has made 2023 so much better for me. You all rock - I love reading all your comments and tags and asks. Thank you!
