Whenever I go to the beach, or anywhere where there are pebbles, they call me to pick them up. Some just prove irresistable. All of them are smooth, worn and rounded, beautiful to hold, calming - just lovely shapes that fit in the hand. They become tokens of the time, sacred, full of memories. If they could be made more special, then Natasha Newton at The Blackbird Sings manages this with finesse.
What heavenly little stones. Impeccable artistry. More of her creations are worth seeing on her website Natasha Newton.

Lovely, I collect pebbles/cobbles for the garden - you know that special one from a walk that has such gorgeous colours!.... Had a short foray into letter carving into stone and tried a few pebbles but they were so hard, I was warned!!
ReplyDeleteI've tried lettering them too - with less than satisfactory results! Its a job for a machine I think. I have polished them to keep those gorgeous colours though, and then they become jewels.
