Light as a feather

Yesterday we spent some hours at this place, in the valley of Guadalest. The day was promising sun, fun, walks through the forest {for me} and fishing {for my husband}. And it all would be perfect and we would stay until the late afternoon but after just a few hours of being there, the weather changed completely.

How can this clear sky, with fluffy white clouds become completely covered with a grey blanket in just a few moments? The new weather conditions accompanied by wind and rain came out of nowhere. No, I didn't take a photo of that as I packed everything and found shelter under a tree... Then we went home seeing that the fun time finished, but I didn't go home with empty pockets! ;D

Do you see what is the common denominator in these photos?

Yes, the blue sky... and still some white clouds... (oh, this cloud looks like a cute donkey 😍)

...and...?

IMG_20240501_112956.jpg

...huge stones and rocks, right?

Tiny ones as well, perfect for picking a few and seeing what they can become after applying some colours to them. I went prepared - with a small cosmetic bag which contained acrylic markers instead of makeup as I thought we would spend the day there, so between the walks I could decorate some of the rocks.

This hobby, activity or call it whatever you want can be done at other places too, not just at home. One can take its colours in a bag, or a little box, find a rock and the fun can start. If you were hooked on this like me, you would understand this decision to take the needed material even to nature on a day off like it was yesterday.

This is one of the rocks I found while walking on some paths in the valley.

For me, it was a bunny.

My husband said it was a duck or a pelican, and my son saw in it a vintage lighter.

Should I be worried? 😅

This rock was the first I started to decorate. I tried to clean it a bit (not with much success) because I saw dust and dry mud on it. Also, it is the first time I have used a rock that is not from the seashore... a different, new surface to experience.

These blue dots appeared over it and then the dots continued to emerge - yellow, orange, white, green, purple, pink, neon yellow, metallic blue, green etc. It was drying in the sun.

Rock number two!

With a completely uneven surface, this stone was quite a challenge to draw anything on. First I drew one uneven line and then the second one that crossed the first one near the bottom.

I decorated them with flower petals and added a few more small, modest flowers. They were searching for something.

Later I found out that they were longing for colours, light and sun. But they are also flowers that are longing to bring happiness for the little bees and insects, and for the people who would see them. They are souls that are longing for whatever they could wish for... It is a thirst for respect, peace, or fulfilment of any kind.

I didn't decorate many rocks outdoors as the rain made us go home. Oh, don't be sad about that, I was fine with that as I brought these half-finished kindness rocks home. The fun could be continued!

Today I fixed some of the petals on this rock that was named anhelo (longing) - I wrote that word on the other side of it. It would still need a bit of a background colour though.

The rock with the dots... It got a few many additional layers of dots and a feather.

Do you know why?

Maybe you can find your own perception of it {and you can share it in the comment section if you want}, but for me, it is like a contradiction - that a rock can be as light as a feather.

Impossible, you can say... And what do you think about feathers that can sometimes weigh as much as a large stone? Still impossible?

IMG_20240502_140025.jpg

However, don't forget that in the same way, the fluffy white clouds yesterday became grey and heavy ones that brought rain. So, I don't see it as absurd as could be seen at first glance.

And the opposite - how many times have the problems that hit us been alleviated with just one smile that someone gave us?

More ideas about the feather and rock connection I leave at your inspiration.

Btw, this rock is named Light as a Feather and it is written on the other side of it, with purple colour.

The rocks of problems and sad things can turn into feathers of relief before a nice gesture of another person. So rocks can become light and cheerful. I love the comparison!😍

Yes, it is possible sometimes, glad you agree with this 😇

Absolutely, things can change and a smile can change everything!

It's now a thing the unpredictable nature of weather these days, this moment, clear blue skies and the next, far from being clear.
Being able to get these stones show that the weather didn't ruin everything after all.
Beautiful designs on the stones.

The truth is that the weather didn't ruin anything, it just changed the place where I continued with my drawing activity 😉

It's a pity that the rain finished the fun , but I love your art work in the rocks specially the one with the diferente colored points and the feather 🪶 I thinks it is really beautiful, you got good inspiration from the nature 🤗

Good job, señorita Mipiano de las rocas de colores !

I found doing those dots interesting and the results can be nice too, so I think that more than a few rocks will come in this "technique". But I should do some research, at the moment it's all go with the flow 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Gracias señor Pumartístico ✨

Those are cute.. at first, I thought you'll draw the pretty landscape using those markers haha . Then I remember you love rocks hehe

Rocks rock! 😁

The landscape there is something I really enjoy 😇🌄

That is so neat that you went prepared to make more kindness rocks to share and oh my goodness did you ever hit the jackpot for new stones. I like the odd shapes, but understand that without smooth surfaces, they might be a little more challenging to decorate.

I like the designs you chose. I thought maybe the colorful dots representing the sunny fun day were then painted with a feather because when the rains came, you had to fly away from there. LOL !

you had to fly away from there. LOL !

Hahaha, that was funny! Could be, could be 😉

If you were hooked on this like me...

🤣

Sí, yo estoy así, pero de ver y esperar por cada piedra que llega o llegará. It is always a great experience to attend these births, and as tu creatividad es infinita and so beautiful, there is a lot of inspiration here and it makes us see life in a very special way.

Gracias 😌

La pluma en la piedra o la piedra en la pluma...

Life can sometimes seem dense; however, it is not.

(ya esto es vanidad, esta cita) 😄

{Una mattina}

👋

Oh, so now you are hooked too. But hey, I want to see a rock lol 😂 then I will know there is indeed some inspiration here 😉

Mattina 🌄

Ludovica. Esa Mattina 🎶. 😅

(deja el chantaje emocional)

🤣

Ya estoy con algo (estudiando ahora mismo), no es la matina pero me gusta, así que esto vendrá un día 🎹🎶

👀

I have to say hallelujah already, even though I don't know what it is. 😁 I'm going to try the rock thing. But I'm not good at drawing.

Y sigo esperando esto...

Es muy chula esta. A veces llego a practicarla un poco pero son muchas otras cosas (time limited) que ahora mismo tengo que estudiar. 🎹 😅

Vale, vale... eso puede esperar, ya llegará cuando tenga que llegar. ✨

Your designs looks great in this type of rocks too...it remember me the marble rocks of my home island.. sometimes I also paint on stone ...

sometimes I also paint on stone ...

I am sure they are amazing and actually I would be glad to see your works made on stone 🤓

The white clouds on the blue sky and these hills are presenting a beautiful view of nature. You have done very beautiful designing on these stones. They are really beautiful💞
Keep up the good work ✨

The rock called with its simplicity :)

First of all very amazing. So creative. And I have a question how many time can I post in a week @mipiano

Me había perdido este post!! Esas piedras decoradas al aire libre son una maravilla!! Y la bolsa de maquillaje...sin maquillaje 🤣, tú si andas preparada con lo importante!!! Feliz domingo.

Muchas gracias por encontrar este post. Todo pasa por algo - ahora me viene muy bien acordame de este mensaje que las rocas también pueden pesar como una pluma. Gracias 🙏
Y también feliz domingo 🕊️

...las rocas también pueden pesar como una pluma.

Espero que pase pronto esa pesadumbre que vislumbro en tus palabras. La vida es simple...pero nosotros la hacemos compleja, todo pasa. Cosas lindas Mipiano 🤗.

Sí, así es ;)
