For a creative soul and an inventive mind, everything can be material. Even what we usually do not notice or throw out. Products made of cardboard, furniture made of plastic bottles, bags made of rope, crafts made of stone - a flight of fantasy is not limited to anyone and nothing. Communication with natural materials has its indisputable advantage: we involuntarily learn to see the beautiful in that it literally rolls underfoot. And the use of "waste" also has a positive effect, especially if we are doing this with children. Thus, we teach them a lesson of responsible attitude to the world around us, work and goodwill.
Crafts made of stone are known from time immemorial. Let's remember how much joy it was when you could find a pebble of unusual shape or with a hole on the beach. And she became our talisman - it was enough to just pass the lace. Another popular way that people have long used, creating crafts made of stone, was to paint it. One of the great ideas is, for example, children's dominoes from the pebbles. Figures, funny characters - anything - you can just draw, best of all, with stained glass or acrylic paints or a special outline. If the carving or sculpture is a labor-consuming occupation that requires special skills, physical strength, tools, then even a novice master can glue the crafts from the stone. Use a strong adhesive for tiles and pebbles, and joints can be masked with a fugue (a means for sealing seams). The mosaic will look no less original: both in small forms (for example, a stand under hot), and in larger ones. Also interesting are crafts for a garden of stones: it can be a grill, benches, a laid out pattern, candlesticks or even solar lamps. For large forms, you need, of course, to stock up large cobblestones. Alpine roller coaster or rock garden looks great in any climate. This material is not only durable and durable, it is also symbolic. Houses made of natural stone are centuries old. He is not afraid of rain or snow. He seems to breathe eternity.
What else can be crafts made of stone? For example, jewelry. If the pebbles are polished and varnished, its pattern, complex veins, interspersed with various minerals will become visible. Crafts made of stones with their own hands can be performed in more intricate techniques. For example, in combination with the skin. By the way, it is not necessary to have expensive large cabochons from semiprecious minerals. You can send to the skin and a beautiful ornamental stone, and a simple field.
But what a bizarre world creates a Polish artist Bogdan Yanushevsky. He was once a sailor, his whole life was connected with water. After retiring, he fell into depression and despondency. Consolation was walking on the beach, where he picked up interesting in form pebbles. Over time, the gallery of his characters has grown, and the hand of the master, a truly creative person, is visible in everything. Maybe these figures will serve as inspiration and help start to see the beautiful in what lies under our feet. For this, neither long training nor expensive materials are needed. All that is needed is a fantasy and a soul.
