Little Landscape

A few years ago I had an enthusiasm for making jewellery - well, dangly earrings mostly - and I still have a collection of odds and ends of projects that didn't quite get finished.

These stones had no holes drilled in them for stringing or hanging, so I played around with wrapping them in silver-plated copper wire hoping I could link them to something - I forget what I was trying to do. It didn't work very well, my wire-bending wasn't very skilful and I kept damaging the silver plating with the pliers. 

So this chip of lace agate has been in the bottom of a box till today when I was casting about for something to blip for the Tiny Tuesday challenge, theme 'mineral'.

I love the patterns in these stones, I think they are  like contour maps of mythical deserts. I'll leave they lying around for a bit now and maybe inspiration will strike and I'll manage to do something with them.

Meanwhile thanks to ninnies for hosting the challenge and prompting me to revisit them.
