"Every Great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."...Harriet Tubman

Have you ever watched a small child find a rock and his face lights up with awe at its unique beauty? He just knows it is either magic or a hidden jewel! We often get so busy we forget the simple beauty the earth holds for us to just enjoy at our leisure. Living in Kentucky we have some radiant rocks right at our feet. Agate stones are one of my favorites found here in our Bluegrass State. In fact, it is the state rock! The rich colors of red, blacks, grays, deep violets and shades of yellows twist through this stone. The blending is breath taking and a beautiful treasure. My father was always bringing me rocks he found on the farm growing up and to this day he still will pickup the unusual stones to admire. I suppose it was passed along to me. I am intrigued by the colors and the blending, no surprise there, and decided this week to try a few new color combinations. I truly loved the formations I got by mixing two very different styles of paints and the color combinations. This dress is buttery soft, but as rich in color as the true Kentucky Agate! I wish my photos did it justice! I had paint left and tried a different texture on chiffon, again, vibrant colors and a two piece ensemble that is truly a treasure from the earth!
