- www.kevin-palmer.com - Hidden away in a secret location in the Bighorn Mountains is a very unusual and intriguing rock. The trees are just tall enough that it can’t be seen from below. No trails exist here, aside from those made by the many elk and moose in the area. A near perfect cube 60 feet high sits at the bottom of a rockpile. Each side is a different color. Made of dolomite limestone, the edges are almost impossibly straight, like it was sculpted by a giant. Whoever said there are no right angles in nature got it wrong. Evidently the massive block broke off from the cliff face hundreds of feet above. Deep cracks and crevices are common up top. I had to step carefully to avoid falling into them. It would have been an awesome sight to see this fall and roll down the slope. But exactly how the geometry formed and why the block didn’t break apart remains a mystery.

these blocks were my Christmas present from Elsie and Roxy. I thought they would be much easier than stones to balance and in one way they are because they have flat surfaces (although some of the planes are very small) but because they are manmade and not organic they don't seem to settle quite in the way stones do. As I was taking this photo I saw that the tenth block was still on the floor from the first tumble! They require mindfulness like stones, but when they fall they don't shock in the way the larger stones do, and also they don't have the potential to break a toe!

Karlyn sent out packets of scraps in either yellow, green or pink, and asked us for wonky strip blocks inspired by Aneela's tutorial in the first issue of Fat Quarterly. So much fun, I made 2!! Finished 12.5" square.
Love this guy! I wonder what he thought of me taking his picture? I guess I'll never know. Incredulous?

The hardest part of this was photographing it !! More than an hour on that.
Block for Laura for the 3rd quarter of the 3x6 Bee. She asked for bright rainbow colors and I couldn't resist the multicolored stripes I had in my stash that used the black...so I added in some black for contrast.
