 Perfect combination of two of my favorite things: stones and twigs. I could not find the artist who created this Tree Rock. I think it is awesome!

Wire Wrapped Stone

Artist Libby Leuchtman created these unique wire wrapped stones. Libby is a glass artist creating beautiful lampwork beads in St. Louis, MO. I love these wire wrapped stones!

I have been reintroduced to the art of stone wrapping. Artisans use different fibers and weaving techniques to create unique pieces. This art stone was created by Seattle artist Delosse Webber.

 

Hidden From View

Hidden From View: Concealing and Revealing In Sandplay Therapy written by Debbi Mego, PHD, LCSW, CST-T is an excellent article in Journal of Sandplay Therapy, Volume 26 Number 2 2017.

In the article the "theme of what is hidden from view in the tray is explored as a transitional space between that which is completely buried or unconscious and that which is visible and conscious."

There is a discussion of "the symbolism of the veil and masked figures, which are inherently hidden."  Through the exploration of the meaning and symbolism of this transitional space, sandplay therapists "can gain awareness of themes that are ready to come to the surface; this in turn helps them trace and guide their clients' progress in healing trauma".
