It's been fun making projects inspired by rocks for my spoilee but they are all super secret so let me pull out some old photos from this summer instead.

Geology ROCKS!
I'm in the Geology ROCKS! swap right and have been doing things and crafting for my downstream spoilee. Yesterday it wasn't raining so I went fossil hunting!
It's been fun making projects inspired by rocks for my spoilee but they are all super secret so let me pull out some old photos from this summer instead.
This project was for the challenge inspired by a place you have traveled. When I was a child, from time to
time, Dad would wake us up and tell us we were skipping school to go out
and really learn something. We would then take a day trip to a museum,
visit a university, a historical monument or stop at a state park.
One
of the most memorable was the trip to Mushroom Rock State Park
where we learned about Dakota sandstone concretions, glacial action,
quartzose sandstone, and the lichen that grew on them. I spun the yarn
for this Lichen scarf colors to mimic the sediment layers of the
sandstone we saw that day and chose the pattern because of its
reminiscent of the lichen.
