This street Art project is called "Urban Geode" and is done by ‘A common Name’ that started in Los Angeles. They created this "Urban Geode" from paper or resin in 3-Dimensional sculpture forms. The finished shapes looks like geodes, crystal, quartz, or any mineral formation. They fit in every little hole of buildings or pipes of urban infrastructures. Behind "A common Name" and "Urban Geode" project, there is Paige Smith, a freelance artist and graphic designer from Los Angeles.

My first attempt at n oval rug... didn't turn out how I would have liked but it's still pretty cool (;
115 Pictures in 2015. #98 Ancient. Looking into a geode is looking back in time.
A geode I collected back in the dark ages when I studied geology. My notes say ~
flattened on one side, containing limonite [the rusty stuff] and quartz.

Geologists have long been challenged to explain how geodes, those mysterious spherical rocks, are formed. Geodes are a variable phenomenon, which means that they may be created in various different ways. The term geode is derived from the Greek word Geoides which means "earthlike." A geode is a round rock which contains a hollow cavity lined with crystals.

"Millions of years ago, in present-day Uruguay, gas bubbles became trapped in magma as it hardened to rock; over time, these cavities morphed into amethyst-quartz-lined geodes"

Here's the first sliceform of 2016! :) The composition is a fairly straightforward combination of 9-fold and 12-fold rosettes, but I was really pleased with how the 3-fold color symmetry turned out!
P.S. I have a Facebook page now! www.facebook.com/sliceformstudio/

a geode I've had my whole life. I did a macro closeup and played with the colors. These are almost the flickr colors which are in fact my favorite colors :D

Here’s my junk cast resin Allan head that had a huge portion of his head not setting correctly. But I really liked how organic this crater formed and I really wanted to try emphasising it, especially since it’s crescent shaped.
I had an action figure body leftover so I decided to try hybriding the head to the neck piece using a bunch of milliput.
I also gave him sleeping eyes and elf ears since I had enough milliput leftover and didn’t want his eyes to detract from the geode part.
With the geode I filled it with glitter since anything else was too large to fit crystal wise.
Anyway I’ll probably make him some proper clothes later on instead on this scarf that frays too much….

Geode from the Jeffersonville Limestone, Clarksville, IN. Width of cavity about 36mm.
"The limestone at the Falls of the Ohio is composed of skeletal remains from countless numbers of corals, stromatoporoid sponges, echinoderms, brachiopods, mollusks, arthropods, and microscopic organisms…. [It] dates from the latest Early Devonian to Middle Devonian. (Geologists call this Emsian and Eifelian Age - 390 to about 380 million years ago).” [www.fallsoftheohio.org]
