Wishing stones

Being inspired (again) by my love of aboriginal art. These are my wishing stones.


They might not make much sense. But they do to me. Each one represents a wish I've made and a stone I've collected and this picture serves as a reminder to me in my studio that anything is possible if you believe it to be.

I think they look like eyes.

I also find aborigional art very interesting, parly becuase of their belief system but also because of their unique way of representing the world.

At the risk of sounding gushing - I hope your dreams come true.

Right now, my major one is not having to go to the looevery 5 mins due to my tummy bug!

Hurrah - found it. this is a really interesting paper on how children mixed aborigional and 'Western' styles of representation in art:

I did an OU course in child psychology, part of our source material was a video of the children painting. Fascinating stuff.
