nature, adorned

This crochet-covered stone arrived in the letterbox today- it was made by my friend Margie in Canada. We did a swap and I feel quite lucky to have one of these artworks of my own. The crochet work is even more beautiful in person- Margie somehow combines a delicate, fine and ladylike sensibility with an earthy and natural one. I love it. She also sent some great vintage embroidery thread ('artfyl floss, boil proof'), and some prints of her photographs. I think your stone is quite at home here, Margie, especially in Mum's rock garden.
