Oh I love what you did with your subtheme of rocks and all their iterations of textures, Siobhan! Lovely images and I always enjoy the explanation of what I'm seeing!
Thanks, Terri! Glad you liked my short on words, long on pictures post.
What an awesome display of rock! Very creative, but also quite accurate for the type of rock chosen. I have a personal favorite in river rock! Celeste
Thank you, Celeste! 😁
Excellent post and photos. As always, a very creative approach.
Thank you, Egidio!
Fabulous rock collection Siobhan 😀
Thanks, Brian! 😄
This is really incredible, Siobhan. My favorite is the second one 🙂
Thanks, Hammad! I love obsidian, and there's lots of it around here. 🙂
What an interesting take on the theme! And that piece of obsidian is beautiful :)
Thanks, Sarah! Obsidian is a beautiful type of stone, and I'm lucky I live an hour away from an excellent spot to collect it. :)
