Default Wishing Stones...

Here's my latest Wishing Stones - made in honour of my Mum's courageous battle with cancer.
Make a wish, and cherish every moment.......







Peace and love...

Thanks for your nice comments! I'm not 100% sure of the mixes, 'cause Brent "made me" play with a bunch of unnamed rods!! I'm quite sure - okay, I think it's a mix of Black Lightning, AP or DAP, and one or another of the AP family...
I'm having so much fun playing...thanks again for your comments!

Val.. these are just so cool. I feel so terrible for what your mum must be going through and send my best to her ...and you. Your wishing stones are a wonderful way to honor her....

Very nice Val... playing with unmarked rods is always fun. Life is like a box of chocolates and all that.

Tell you Mom I send my best!

Hmm... wishing stones. I have been calling them "artifacts". Isn't it strange how two people can make the same thing and have a totally different outlook on it?

Here's one I did:



Of course you use bright colors and I try to use earth tones to make them look more like rocks. After seeing yours I'm going to have to try some bright colors as well. I like those!
