Wee stones for the hand

 

I have grabbed another couple of moments to go to the Wee Workshop to make a stash of quite small stones with metal. The opening photo shows one of the finished stones in Fiona's hand. The photo below shows me holding the smallest stone - about 2.5cm - on a leather pad in preparation for a one pass cut with the diamond blade.

A few more process-progress photos follow. The first one shows a stash of stones on the bench beside the side grinder and green diamond blade.





The final photo shows two completed stones in the palm of Fiona's hand.

Fascinated by light

 

Over the last week or so we have had such light early morning light shows. Some reach wide and deep such as the opening photo and a couple following. In the second photo below you can see the Orkney Islands!!!!


Some colour the bay and beach.



Some create amazing sky-sea vistas.



And the morning moon has its own charm.


I  am grateful for such beauty.
