Something I always find time for - is building stone stacks. There is something quietly satisfying when, after several attempts, I can step back from a wobbly pile of stone and admire my 'art work'.
Over the years I have perfected my towers (well that is what I keep telling myself) but they still fall down :) So lots more practice needed!
Have you tried making stone stacks? It is done world wide and in some places these piles have spiritual meanings.
On a grander scale than my own are the Inukshuk stones built to represent a figure, to mark a route or a spiritual place. These inuksuit (plural) can vary in size from a small model to huge ones that dominate the skyline. I would love to try and make one... may be this is a challenge for the weekend!
Thank you so much for your comments, I love hearing from you, you make my day and make my heart go squeeeee!
What are you doing in your wild life?
Are you joining in?
I have to say we are thoroughly enjoying ours :)
#30DaysWild Days - you can do it too.
No, i've never built a stone stack but something I will put on my list of activities for when my little people join me, I think it could be fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have ticked building stone stacks off your list now! Lovely seeing the stone pictures again as well as all the holiday photographs. xx
ReplyDeleteI have never built a stone stack, so I shall add that to my list of things to do!
ReplyDeleteFunnily, I've fancied making a stone stack but have never got round to it. I did think about an Andy Goldsworthy conical shape of stones..... am still thinking about that!
ReplyDeleteI love stone stacks!
