    Oh how beautiful. They make me want to reach out and touch them they are so pretty. My mom used to paint rocks with me when I was a kid. But nothing so intricate and beautiful as that. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. I am a very bad girl today, I didn't post a link to my site because I didn't have much to show so no worries if you visit my site.

    I agree with Belinda - I really want to get hold of your beautiful rocks, and feel that crochet texture and painting over the surface. They're so beautiful, as is your photography. I'm so intrigued by your Falling Ladies too - I'll certainly be back to find out more! Lovely to WOYWW-meet you!

    you are so multi-talented! Your painted rocks are so beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished embroidery/stitching and never sure of the right name for crafts like that!

    I felt a sense of peacefulness just looking at these rocks. What is it about rocks that draw me so? These are beautiful!

    The white on white, surrounded with elements of nature are my idea of peaceful. These are beautiful images, Andrea.....and gorgeous pieces :)

    Your mother's crochet rock is lovely, but I'm partial to daisy, so as it is expected I was ogling your painted rock for a long time. What a beauty!

    A crocheted rock! That is a sweet idea. My mom crocheted a brick once, to use as a doorstop, but alas, it was on tile and just slipped across the room. I love the painted rock, the painting so delicate and the rock such a rock. They make for a lovely pairing.

    What a lovely color study this post is! Different shades of white, different textures, different patterns. I wonder whether you seal the painting on the rock with anything? (My ignorance of such things is vast.) Happy WOYWW (On Thursday) from Laura #118
