This is a 6 month old photo I just found. This was my daughter's last year's Birthday cake. It was a really rushed job and I was not thrilled with how it turned out but she was happy with it.
A tiny, like 3x2 inch feaux wood grain stretcher frame for these little guys. I don't love satin stitch over long distances so I tried it with a seam up the side. I think it's sorta cute. Seed stitch to fill in the caps and one tiny french knot on the littlest toadstool cap. Great smokey/sage blue 28ct linen i got for a few dollars because it was an end and there wasn't much left. Sometimes it's a good thing I don't make very large work. lol

I read about the toadstool swap at lucykatecrafts.blogspot.com/, but my test toadstool wasn't swap-worthy, so I didn't join.
Stalactites are formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate and other minerals, which is precipitated from mineralized water solutions. Limestone is calcium carbonate rock which is dissolved by water that contains carbon dioxide, forming a calcium bicarbonate solution. The chemical formula for this reaction is:
CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(aq) → Ca(HCO3)2(aq)
This solution travels through the rock until it reaches an edge and if this is on the roof of a cave it will drip down. When the solution comes into contact with air the chemical reaction that created it is reversed and particles of calcium carbonate are deposited. The reversed reaction is:
Ca(HCO3)2(aq) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(aq)

As the title says - a toadstool. Found in the forest in Bavaria. It's actually pretty poisonous, lethal in fact. However, consumed in sufficiently small quantities it acts as a hallucinogenic. I guess whoever cut out that little slice knew that well.
This interesting mushroom still had bits of dirt on top after it sprang up following a brief rain. I found it interesting.

This is a photo from my second full day roaming around the southwest with LionTX and JohnRav. While we had tried our luck at the lottery for 'The Wave' unsuccessfully the day before, we got the idea to try it again on this day as well. Since the BLM Ranger station where they hold the lottery for passes doesn't open until 8:30AM we got the crazy idea to shoot the "Toadstool Hoodoo" at sunrise beforehand.
It's a bit of a blur, but we hit the road about an hour before sunrise, drove 30 minutes to the trail head, and managed to arrive ~15 minutes or so before sunrise. This spot, as it turns out, is really more of a sunset location, as the sun didn't really hit the main 'toadstool' feature (in the background here) until well after the best golden light of sunrise had passed.
It's an interesting spot and a relatively easy hike of the main road (3/4 mile or so). Once you arrive there's one prominent sandstone structure, but the whole area is really bizarre looking. It's all extremely fragile too - so we had to tread lightly so as not to damage the delicate structures. But, there was a place here where I could get fairly close to the cool brown and white-striped sandstone and get a shot to show off some of its cool detail, texture, and color.
For the record, we were able to hang out until pretty well everything was out of shadows, hike back to the car, drive to the BLM station for the day's Wave Lotto and lose once again.

Polymer Clay, Acrylic Paint, Acrylic Sealer......Yes for the first time ever, I am using a Sealer on my work, but only because these have been antiqued with paint and they need a sealer. (I am still hand sanding and polishing all my other beads lol!)
