I love them... especially seeing how the snow melted relative to your pattern. I especially love the 4th one for that reason.<br /><br />I have a macro lens that a very generous friend is loaning me. He has an incredible collection of lenses, and keeps loaning them to me in rapid-fire succession. It's a 100 mm lens, and if I bought my own, I think that I'd get an extension tube as well... I'd love to be able to get super-duper close-ups.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-16499229909892437522013-02-15T09:49:19.092-07:002013-02-15T09:49:19.092-07:00Thank you, catsynth.

Greetings to you in the way up north!!!<br /><br />I'm not sure how long the thread will last; this will be their second summer, they get only half-day sun, and I do believe they are accomplishing their purpose in cooling off the garden just a tad. So it's worth it to me however long they do last. Plus, they look a lot prettier than the plain rock that came with the house. ! One thing for sure, at least the color won't fade the way the yarn-bombing downtown has! Those huge (acrylic yarn) flowers made by the Ladies Fanciwork Society are getting pretty darned ugly now!

Love your pictures and I too wish you had gotten more snow to help prevent fires this summer. In talking to my co-workers in Colorado, it seems like it's been a pretty dry winter.

It was fun watching the snow build its own designs on the rocks!<br /><br />I am using regular cotton thread, but I think nylon thread would be highly durable and weather resistant. I'm using one of those Big Balls of Lydia's size 10 (a mile of thread or some such worthy figure) in ecru that I picked up at a JoAnn's that was closing. It was on clearance, something like 60% off, but also stained and dirty, not loved where it had been available for purchase for so long. So I thought it would be perfect for rocks. The first five or six rocks have some real stains on them, but you'd never know.Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-13802023512715425832013-02-13T08:19:30.812-07:002013-02-13T08:19:30.812-07:00Very pretty with some snow on :)Very pretty with some snow on :)cathttp://1bildibland.blogspot.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-53912275871825271412013-02-12T21:12:12.217-07:002013-02-12T21:12:12.217-07:00They look amazing with the "real thing" ...They look amazing with the "real thing" covering them. <br />I have to admit that the covered rocks intrigues me and I may do some for our garden this year.
