little rock friends


my little rock friends, canon 40d

back in early 2000, i did rock painting, loved it. here are some of my favorites. some sit on my book shelves, while others like mama rabbit and little rabbit, mr. purple bug and mrs. bumble bee like to hang around in the garden.

the blue one on the left is a mandala rock. i made some with symbols and flowers that i gave away to friends, they work great as paperweight on work desk. but i just like them because they are nice.

i'm still waiting for the right moment to start on the canvas.
