I have found a beautiful perfect humble rock specimen that is light yellow with a weird dark yellowy brown lining, somewhat resembling a chunk of smoked gouda cheese... effervescent

#I am still very into trash collecting at the moment and even went out and got one of those grabby sticks for cheap and a little #bucket I can carry around and put trash in. so I am going on walks in nature a bit more (not really to enjoy nature but more to play the #very fun Real Life Hidden Object Point And Click Game that is 'hunt for bottle caps and cans' .. but eh.. whatever gets me out of the #house lol).. anyway.. some nature places near water will have cool rocks #Which I know you're not supposed to take them and I MOSTLY dont.. but every once in a while it's like... when else will I ever find a #gouda rock... I have cleaned up 4 buckets of trash today.. I have helped the environment.. mayhaps.. i could take a One Single Rocke as a #treate... ANYWAY. but yeah. I don't know the names of rocks but there's a rock that's a matte muted marigold yellow sort of #color and I call them 'cheese rock'. I'm pretty sure this one is of the 'cheese rock' species but it just has weird brown coloration #like maybe it got stained or something on one side of it. Most of the other cheese rocks have no markings. though sometimes there will be a #auburn reddish sort of hue on a corner or something.. hrmm.. curious. I also got a Beginner's Hobby rock tumbler and some supplies #so I might try polishing some of the rocks from my enormous rock collection. even though they're all street rocks I picked up from sidewalk #and stuff. I saw a video where someone put random gravel and stuff in a rock tumbler and none of them were Stunning Gems or whatver #but some still turned out cool enough that I would be pleased with the result... OUgh.. I want to post more I need to like do costumes and #sculptures and stuff and be Active On Social Media and think about my Future and Career and how it always benefits artists to keep an #active social media or etc. but I just feel so tired and bad lately. I think the summer heat waves have really exhausted me. I also have #been trying to make new friends + on a weird schedule so I've been socializing and also watching media too much. I notice I always start #to feel this kind of unsettled stress of not making any forward progress in my life if I do that for too long. like 'Okay this week I've #done nothing but meet up with two friends & watch like 10 episodes of tv and only worked on a few projects on the side.. this is HORRIBLE!' #(ppl who follow me here that I talk to on discord: this isn't about you! Im specifically just referencing being tired of introductory talks #with a new round of random strangers during my Friend Hunt. Just clarifying so it couldn't be misinterpreted as vaguepost implying that I'm #secretly bothered by talking to you or etc. lol.. anyway) . Which I know to MOST people 'I talked to a lot of friends and watched some cool #stuff!' sounds like a GOOD relaxing time but.. to me it is not ghhj.. Those are 'external' focuses on things outside myself which bothers #me if not moderated. Like.. i MUST retreat internally to work on my worldbuilding and my own thoughts and etc. at very regular intervals or #it will really start to bear on me too much. Brain Mandated Hermit Isolation lol. Just being too detached from my world and stuff for #too long feels increasingly bad. PLUS. every day I don't make tangible progress towards my goals is a day wasted that I could have been #investing in my future by working on novels/games/sculptures/actual career relevant stuff. Not even in a Capitalism way i just genuinely #enjoy Completing Tasks & feel miserable if I don't for too long. EVEN the media I'm watching I turn into A Task since I rank in a detailed #google doc list after viewing lol.. Like EW movie too boring on it's own. NEED to turn it into something I can categorize and analyze ghghj #LOVE to make things more complicated than they need to be. like YAAAY organizational tasks! yaay meticulous sorting!! BOO ''mindless fun''!

The Sheffield Guide was invited to a Secret Sculpture Park; Stoneface Creative's woodland gallery at Storrs Wood. This is one of Sheffield's true hidden gems - an incredible woodland walk featuring the very best of Andrew Vickers' amazing artwork. SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE SHEFFIELD GUIDE VIDEOS! - http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=deejayone1 SUPPORT THE SHEFFIELD GUIDE ON PATREON: - https://sheff.info/31uryls Stoneface Creative is made up of artist Andrew Vickers and lately ‘Son of Stoneface’ Tom. Their stunning 10-acre woodland base acts as a source of inspiration as well as somewhere for some of the amazing creations to reside, amongst beautiful natural surroundings. Originally a dry-stone waller by trade, Andrew quickly found a natural talent with creating amazing sculptures. Andrew invited me to Storrs Wood and gave me a tour, kindly showing and telling me about some of the incredible sculptures he has created and placed in the woodland. Each month Stoneface open up Storrs Wood to the public for a weekend full of tours and activities for young and old. If you’re lucky Andrew may even talk you through some of the amazing pieces on display. Grindstone workers aren’t the only people that Stoneface pays respects to at this unique site - alongside the adjacent Storrs Lane, Andrew has built and donated in perpetuity, a public memorial dedicated to war victims. There’s also an amazing memorial wall for victims of the Great Sheffield Flood. Andrew even created a tribute to one of his favourite musicians, this time sculpting from unconventional materials - recycled DVDs. DVDs aren’t the only unconventional material you might see sculpted into something beautiful at Storrs Wood - Andrew is prolific and just can’t stop creating, so he recycles many different things into pieces including bronze, steel, wood and even old cement mixers! But as the name suggests, Stoneface mainly utilises various stones for his work - much of it reclaimed, saved from just becoming landfill and so turned into fantastic artwork, either for commissions or to be placed in the woodland. What comes over when speaking to Andrew other than his incredible passion for his art and work is that he has a genuine love and incredible bond with Storrs Wood. And now you can share in that bond and explore Storrs Wood - one of Sheffield’s true hidden gems - with Stoneface’s regular open days. The land is even available for unique events, weddings, even special outdoor cinema screenings and more. Make sure to follow Stoneface Creative on Facebook and keep checking the website for more insight into the amazing work and events that take place here.
