I nor...Hey Bonnie! thanks for all your kind words. I normally like very pure materials and designs myself and am hoping to blend the "bling" in so that it doesn't just jump out at you. That's why I want to use natural or earthy accents; things that originally came from the earth and take on that patina with age like copper and ceramics.<br />Yeah, I'm going to have to do a lot of research for the nature preserve thing. I know you can do it through the Nature Conservancy and we have at least one organization specific to my state for such a thing.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-15471832855397061312009-08-03T07:35:21.637-05:002009-08-03T07:35:21.637-05:00Edifice Rex:

I'm a bit of a purist though and would prefer just the rock and stone, with no bling to distract the eye. But that's just me. Isn't great when we have our own land, we get to do exactly what we want - as you should!<br /><br />A generous thought - to leave the property as a nature preserve. Probably take some research on how to do that so that developers don't get their hands on it.<br /><br />Good luck with all your amazing ideas!Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-33846718631714329812009-08-01T22:20:52.879-05:002009-08-01T22:20:52.879-05:00Hey PB&D! thanks and thanks for stopping by. ...Hey PB&D! thanks and thanks for stopping by.

I like the idea of a nature preserve too!<br /><br />Hello Page! Great to hear from you and thank you very much for all your kind words. I saw your website and your work is absolutely beautiful! I would be honored to have some of your shards for my wall. I think that would be fantastic! Your firing methods would go great against the stone. Thanks so much for your offer. Email me and we can work out how I can get them.<br />And you have a tractor! I want a tractor! Maybe one day and yes, maybe we could meet one day, I need to know more ceramic artists.<br /><br />Hey FC! Which line?! Rock Lobster? Ooh, you know I ain't real sharp. The wall was the first thing that jumped out at you, right?! <br />You flatter me with the Mayan temples comparison. I wish I could come that close but thank you very much for your compliments. I try hard.<br />Lika is doing very well. He's so sweet. A very loving and laid back dog. Just right for me. I found some brewer's yeast vitamins that has really helped his coat. He's looking slick!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-1486366511261466882009-07-31T07:32:27.587-05:002009-07-31T07:32:27.587-05:00You took my line!

I enlarged the photo (guilty) before reading your text and Lika's color match with your Alabama soil was the second thing that jumped out at me in the shot.<br /><br />He looks like he is thriving under your care. <br /><br />You can see the artist in you in the wall. It's not just a functional stack of rocks. The thought and artists eye is evident in the arrangement and fitting of the stone. <br />I keep thinking of Mayan temples when I look at your joinery.<br /><br />Very impressive.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-64162436266822159352009-07-31T07:19:15.010-05:002009-07-31T07:19:15.010-05:00this is my first contact although I have been foll...this is my first contact although I have been following your blog for some time----adore the rock retaining wall and would love to maybe contribute some of my pottery shards to your effort, if you want---I make pieces with faces on them, www.candlerclay.com---am in the middle of nowhere, blissful in KY---found you for the pottery aspect and love the dreams and heart rocks---and you get to play with such nice toys:)---I have a small tractor I call my little red hen--I feel the same about our bit of ground, in terms of making it park like, interesting and environmentally good---you've got a nice eye---maybe we will meet someday.pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804652484804723490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-29742807077248321092009-07-30T21:44:38.637-05:002009-07-30T21:44:38.637-05:00I almost didn't even see Lika!

You could probably grow some small ferns in the crevices as well.<br /><br />What a great idea about the nature preserve/sculpture garden!countrypeapiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276399830149241673noreply@blogger.com
