Sticks and stones

I am going a bit nuts for rock collecting and painting right now. I also have a bit of a log and branch collection going. So this collection of rock and stick art really has my creative juices flow…

Over autumn and winter i’ve been out in the woods playing with natural materials.

From masks to flowers, piggy banks to piñatas, these paper mache ideas will inspire kids.

Working with materials so different from each other such as stone and wood causes a bit of a conundrum when you're trying to choose a suitable glue. Glues for porous materials like wood may not stick to non-porous substances, and vice versa.
