An Interesting proverb that carries many different meanings. Today I like to think of it as:
Those who keep moving never lack in fresh ideas or creativity.
I took these stones out of my rock tumbler today to check and see how they were progressing. They are in phase 2 of the grinding and polishing process.
The directions always say to keep tumbling the stones with this particular grit until shiny. To me, they look smooth but not shiny. So back to the tumbler they must go for me to check another day ;)
These close-ups for iheartMacro make me begin to wonder about the stones' actual smoothness.
Hey, they're just rocks. Its all relative... I guess.

ReplyDeleteLisa, I have been in love with rocks since I was a little girl. When my daughter was in middle school we got her a rock tumbler and we all loved to see the results. These are so gorgeous. I hope you will show them again as they are finished/shiny. They do get shiny. I remember that the process was much longer than we had imagined.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment Faye! I will be sure to bring them out again when they are finally polished ;)
DeleteI would like to see them finished also. I did try it once also but it was so noisy I gave up. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks different when you see it close up!
ReplyDeleteI would use them just like this...but I use them au natural, right out of the river. These photos show such a beauty in them without being too polished. But~I am curious to see them really polished. It might make me break out the tumbler!
ReplyDeleteDirect from nature. How cool is that? !
DeleteMy daughter collects rocks, she would love to see these.
