When we visited this summer the cave of the Dragon in Kastoria, a very beautiful well-preserved and organized cave, our excellent tour guide often appealed to our imagination in order to describe and name the impressive forms of the cave. Here were the "curtains", there was the "fairy", or the "dragon", or whatever one could see with his imaginative eyes... And, I was thinking how lucky and blessed are those who work with natural materials, like stones, drift woods, clay, etc. It's pure magic to transform a lost piece of wood to a boat and a stiff stone to a beautiful creation ...
For anyone is following my posts, my love for pebbles and pebble art is known. Beach stones I have collected from the beautiful seashores of Greece and try to combine them in minimal and meaningful forms and shapes. So, for this Mother's day gift I chose to make a pebble creation. Simple, but elegant, with few materials. The things I will need:  |

Kinetic art, a kinetic sculpture, a structure that balances and moves and twists; these are synonyms of a mobile. I find them all too pretty, especially those by wire that balance elegantly and twist gracefully in the air.

One day before Valentine's Day I saw this great idea on Houzz to make a wall art gallery with hearts. For all year heart lovers, of course. You can draw and cut hearts in different papers and sizes and frame them in small cute photo frames. I prefer the photo frames to be different too, for the shake of an eclectic preference. You can also paint hearts with any medium you find convenient, like watercolors, oil colors, acrylics, or recycle materials like aluminum foil, newspapers, wood, dried plants, etc. And, for the end this great idea of photo collage in the shape of the heart with your favourite photos with your spouse ♥!
