I Love Rocks!

So I am in love with this Flikr stream. You must go check it out. Now. So beautiful.

I'm continuing to be inspired by artists around me to create white on dark images. This time it's rocks. I got out my white conte crayon, sharpened it on a random piece of sandpaper in my ArtDeskOfDoom and went to work on my rock collection (Doesn't everyone have one?). Mine turned into little animals (big surprise right?) An alligator, a dragonfly, a hedgehog, a beetle, and an odd little face. I am feeling the need to leave them around town for people to find. I'll let you know if I actually do it.

I adore making these little things. I feel so calm and happy.

  1. These are just so sweet! I do have a rock collection and just may have to draw on some of it! I think people would love to find one of these lying around!

  2. I, too, have a rock collection, and love this idea:) I've never used a conte crayon. Does it stay on well?

  3. ArtDeskOfDoom!
    Oh my that is such a great term. I have one of those too... an entire ArtRoomOfDoom in fact.

    I love your rocks and I love the idea of leaving them for people to find!
