The next prompt for CST summer camp was to find a rock and wrap it with fabric, yarn, thread or whatever. In thinking about it as I wrapped, at first I wanted the rock to show, but soon decided to wrap the whole rock up completely. I found myself counting wraps and told myself to stop! Just a little OCD, I guess! I selected my rock on my morning walk, after discarding 3 other rocks. It had to be just right to hold in my hand; smooth and oval-shaped. I did not tie any knots in the yarn and did not use any acrylic medium or glue for the yarn. After covering the rock with yarn, I used embroidery thread to make little knots as embellishments. In the process, I considered a “worry” rock I once had which was very smooth. This rock is heavy enough, but with some softness to be considered a “comfort” rock.
