Sunburst Covered Stone

I'm still covering stones and enjoying it.  I used this pattern for inspiration.

Mountain Hummingbirds

This was taken on Saturday on our mountain lot.  I think these poor little creatures are destined for a journey south very soon.

My First Covered Stone

I've been inspired for ages by the likes of Resurrection Fern and more recently by Barbara from Made in K-town and the beautiful covered stones they make, which are pure art.  The stones have no real function, other than to look beautiful, and I find that inspiring.

I finally put aside my usual projects with deadlines and made a covered stone entirely for the joy involved and for no other reason.  It's my first one and so I will keep it for me.  I've already started work on another one that I will give away.

I've been experimenting with free actions from the Pioneer Woman.  This is boost and quick edge burn.  Almost all of the photos on this blog are SOOC (straight out of the camera), but I'm afraid I might be becoming somewhat addicted to these actions in Photoshop.
