Crocheted Stones

This "Stone Fossil" seeks to capture a moment in time when a leaf or insect is captured in a brief embrace with the forming rock and they each imprint on each other.

 

This lace rock (NZ schist) is made from 100% cotton thread which has been crocheted into lace that seamlessly encapsulates the rock.

 

Each rock dictates the form of the lace as the tensions and curves pull the lace into a unique shape. There is a beautiful contrast of soft and hard, earth made and man made, nature and art.

 

Each rock/pebble is a unique one of a kind piece which can be used as a paperweight, outdoor tablecloth weight, wedding table decoration, centrepiece or gift. The smaller ones can be secreted in a pocket as a personal talisman.

 

They look great in random small collections either grouped in a loose display, or together in a stunning bowl.
