Time flew by these past few days and work got piled up so I only had a short afternoon on Sunday to play with the pebbles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I would have liked to make more but after five or six it got repetitive and inspiration grew short. And I got frustrated. I am still trying not to waste any of my prrrrecious<\/em><\/a>. I think I have to let go of that possessive and scared of wasting<\/em> feeling to start having real fun and experiment much more. Anyway, as I have discovered, pebbles can be brought back to their original state with a good scrub!<\/p>\n

In terms of inspiration, I first thought of prehistoric fish or creatures of the sort but instead, moose popped into my mind – it must be the Abitibian <\/a>in me – and a pig. The latter is not in my usual repertoire. The moose looks just like the alien<\/a> that walked us by in our driveway!<\/p>\n

As for the medium, the creatures are mainly colour crayons with a touch of acrylic.<\/p>\n

I realized that I feel much more comfortable using black and white. Colour still eludes me, especially with the stones since they change the colors in an unusual way: the \u201cgreen\u201d background of one the moose is in fact an ochre yellow crayon. I also prefer when a part of the stone is left untouched. Covering it all feels like losing a part of its quality; achieving some sort of transparency would be nice.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s where I\u2019m at right now. Has one of you tried interesting techniques with stones?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
