I took these photos today and then tried to come up with a theme. The small rocks come from Point Reyes.We discovered them while beach walking. The rocks haven't been polished—save for the Pacific Ocean waves jostling them around. The woven piece , I believe, comes from Maine. The beaded piece is from Mexico—

The hearts and paper background tie this all together.

Absolutely beautiful. I love them all! naebegirl · 2007-01-22: 19:25

I agree with pattyb - evokes a very tactile response. #5 is very engaging. jpfromoz · 2007-01-22: 20:57

I'm so glad I came here after patty and jp. They have summed up what is so engaging about this series - wonderful, crisp details and fantastic color and textures that make you want to explore each object! aggiechristine · 2007-01-22: 21:33

when i looked at the first two, before reading the text, i thought "aha--polished rocks." i had to do a double-take to make sure they weren't tumbled. how great they are. i bet they make a very satisfying sound when you run your fingers through them. chipotle · 2007-01-22: 22:02
