Waxed Lined cord with hand knotted bead embellishment was the perfect combo for my 2 sided, natural hole, meditation rock. It was a perfect gift because I know she did not already have one! :)

My meditation rocks are a passion project that allow me to play, experiment as well as meditate for just the love of creation. I am always happy to answer all the e-mails I receive from artists around the world asking me how I am creating my effects. I thought a little blog comment might answer questions. I am using traditional materials in an nontraditional way. I am able to create effects with patience and curiosity. This is not a mass production process even though the volume of my work gives that impression. The designs are a random free flow with no direction intended..I am letting the entire process be a flow. I am not using paint pens because they would not help me with the direction I am trying to go. Their look is too commercial and flat. I am achieving the heights of my strokes with layer after layer of paints. I use random tools I buy as well as make. I am mixing materials that are not traditionally mixed. It is all one big experiment. I use teeny tiny brushes, chalk wires, tooth picks, bamboo skewers, pins, paint straight out of the bottle as well as paint mixed with random fluids to create effects. I even use a copper wire the cable man left behind! It is perfect for some effects. Right now I am trying to create a light reflective effect using layers of transparent paints.. I hope this helps enlighten anyone interested how I am creating my effects. Make art a playground! Feel free to just create! I am posting a section or two of their press release.
