cover the rocks of the world.


I made these felted rocks following the instructions here. I wanted to share the project with all you rock-lovers. I've never been able to keep any of the covered rocks I've made (I keep giving them to friends), so it's nice to have these.

I receive a lot of emails asking if it's okay to make things inspired by my collections as gifts or for their own homes. Yes! Yes, it is okay! Go for it! Cover rocks. Make toadstools. Fashion twigs. I think it's great. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to provide instructions and patterns or give sources for all my materials, etc. I would, one day, like to share a few patterns for the simpler things that I make, but pattern-duplicating is not nearly as exciting to me as actual creating, and so it continually gets put on the back-burner.

I am going to be doing something a little bit different in the shop over the next few weeks, so come back tomorrow to hear about that...
