My friend, Nancy made this lovely painted mosaic rock in response to the cranberry coverlet I posted a few weeks ago. I love it!
It has a subtle texture where the paint dots are slightly raised. She studied the whig rose pattern, got out some graph paper and managed to translate a flat 2D pattern onto the curved surface of a 3D rock. That is no small feat! She said it was a challenge, but made it work. I'm so pleased!
This my new favorite paperweight in my office at work.
Thank you, Nancy, for the thoughtful and practical gift. I'm glad my arts-and-craft explorations are influencing your art. That is the highest compliment!
Happy Holidays, My Friend!

Michele, Merry Christmas. You warmed my day.

My mind guessed several things before reading what this really was. First thought maybe a cross-stitch pin cushion but no those aren't x's. Then thought maybe a piece of actual woven cloth wrapped around something - maybe still a pincushion. Never would have guessed a painted rock! Indeed - clever and talented friend you have. Merry Christmas!
