Mixed Media with Semi-Precious Stones

Much like the pieces for the Workhouse 3x3 show which ended earlier this month, these 6x6 works on stretched canvas also capture geological cross sections and the treasures withim. 
Following are Stalagmite, Subterrane, and Fracture. All feature water media, black gesso, antique book biology figures, and semi-precious stones like star ruby, star sapphire, moonstone, peridot, garnet, rhodolite garnet, and quartz.

Very nice Bonnie. Earthy and organic. Can't wait to see them in person.

Nice work. I like seeing your different, yet distinctive styles. I also sometimes use stones in some of my mixed media pieces. Since I make jewelery, there's always a ready supply.
