Process
“Chip away everything that doesn’t look like an elephant.” -unknown sculptor
“Or a shark. Or a seascape. Make the rock into what it’s meant to be.”
-Alice Kaanta, artist and owner of Petrifying Visions
Find the right rock.
Stones contain stories. I dig through rocks until I find one with a picture waiting to be seen. When I find that right rock, I cut and polish until everyone else can see it too.
I find nature’s secret art and make it into jewelry.
Add something fun.
Once I’ve a properly scenic stone, I inlay the details that make them truly come alive.
It’s not an iceberg until there’s a penguin on it.
Set the scene.
All pictures want a frame. Sometimes a rock only needs to be made wearable: set it, and we’re done.
Other times, it wants more: space, details, a backdrop.
I just build what the rocks need to make them shine and sing.
Wear it in the world
Make a statement.
Tell a story.
Wear something uniquely wonderful.
(Yes, I’m talking to the rocks, but you should too.)
