Base

You are welcome to bring something for your “rock sitter” to sit on. I will bring some rocks and I have pieces of branch about 2” – 3” high that work well. If you’d like, bring a rock of your own or a wooden box or something else you like. I had a lady bring an antler last spring. https://bit.ly/RSAntler

Accessories

I have a selection of accessories to gussy up your piece, things like old jewelry, wooden decorations, “books” made from card, paper roses,
Paverpol sticks to natural fabric, rocks, & metal but not to plastic or vinyl. I have some wooden gewgaws from the dollar store, but things from the yard also work well — pinecones, etc.
or bring something else that’s meaningful or fun. Let your imaginations go wild!!”
