stones

Apparently my Brilliant Image Hosting Idea wasn't, and my last post lacked this image of wonderfully ... precise ... sidewalk cleaning I saw in Olympia, WA, or at least failed to make the image visible to anyone who wasn't me.




Today I planned to experiment with stone carving. So I got a nice square rock and drew trees on it in sharpie, and then scribed along the lines, which leaves notches in the stone you use to start the chisels. But I really like the jagged graffiti energy it has just like this - ink and scribing, and haven't get got up the nerve to take chisels to it yet.



Regrettably, sharpie-and-scribing-on-stone is not yet a recognized art medium.

These are both very awesome things. I think sharpie-&-scribing has potential! But also I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thank you! For now, I am just putting it in a corner because I am too worried about Ruining It. And also because it's cold outside and stonecutting is an outside activity.

Or, as my roommate would say to one of her cats when he brought in a critter, 'That's an outside toy'.

Your stone art is even more beautiful in person. Achingly beautiful.

Screw recognized art mediums. It's gorgeous.

Thank you.
