Strolling along the Buffalo River on crisp sunny days has been one of my favorite pastimes while at my artist residency in southern Tennessee. The water is inexplicably a bright icy blue green color that reminds me of crystal hot springs I’ve visited in Yellowstone and California and the banks and shallow bottom are completely composed of a variety of sedimentary rocks.
I’ve become especially drawn to this super smooth rich earth toned type. I can’t figure out what kind of stone it is specifically, but they are very smooth and dense and almost remind me of a cross between slate and obsidian.
I’ve spent a few walks collecting my favorite stones and have decided to celebrate this sparse yet pristine landscape by recreating some of the best views in gold leaf on these lovely smooth rocks. Each one is hand gilded and is one of a kind and will look fabulous in any crystal or stone collection, or even as a little accent in your fave planter!
