Angry stone

Realizing this image might disturb some I decided to post anyway....please excuse the "stand" - it is just there so I could stabilize the stone in order to photograph it....don't even know where to start regarding a proper display or whether I want to do so with this piece. Anyway I would like to solicit others thoughts. Thanks.

Tom

Hi Tom,

I LOVE your head stone!!! It has such pathos and expression of agony. I have a "secret collection" of head stones and because they are not classified as suiseki have not been shown formally. Aren't you glad we can call them viewing stones? :0)

A "simple" daiza with maybe.. hands or rope around his neck ! I'll bet Yvonne could design something creative.

Thanks for showing, which reminds me to dig out my Halloween head. I think I photographed it once...will look through my files.

Norma

Thanks so much, Norma...I was beginning to questions myself regarding posting of the image....but I really am soliciting ideas for a suitable daiza...hopefully Yvonne will chime in :-)

I agree regarding the imagery the stone evokes....Hope you find your Halloween heads....how about showing some of your head stones?

Best regards,
Tom

My spook head which I collected on a Lake Superior river.

Great, Norma...thanks for sharing....to me it is reminiscent of a Triceratops (sp?)...the dinosaur with a unique jaw.

Regards,
Tom

Great stone Tom!

this one found me

I especially like scary faces,
this was in a reject pile,
passed over by many,
it screamed at me...

I love this combo the stone and the "stand"? Sorry im new to stones i know its not a stand, but i just love how rugged it looks.

please give up to you to me and participate.

Hi Tom,
I thought I’d add to the collection of faces, this guys not angry but he does have a head of snow - like many of us baby boomers .

Norma, I really like your new avatar, it inspires a special feeling.

Cheers Graham

I saw this guy at the zoo, "angry monkey"
he had been isolated, salutary confinement.
because he had been excessively mating,
with ALL the other monkeys...

On stone path to outhouse!
IMAGINE him looking back up at you!
after wiping...

Hello Stonener ,
I am very interesting with your angry stone ...
_ Is this angry stone ... ???

Please you share your comment . Thank you .

WoW! Hung! it's a SSS
This one is great! again I am not surprised, your stones always the best.
excellent color, deep solid black
excellent ware, smooth as skin! but with wrinkles.
excellent shape, pointy hood, eyes, nose and mouth showing tongue.
here we call this one "GRIM REAPER" death angel
if you see his face your dead!!!
winner winner winner...

found this guy at rivers edge last week,
he was screaming at me to pick him up,
and take him home, natural flat cobble,
serpentine...

I was by the beach yesterday, to look for more interesting orange flint.....There was still many, but no of my interest, so they will stay on the beach .
But I found this little nice mountain at the same spot...this stone also had a fantastick patina like the flints.
I have only given it a little rubbing against my jeans.

Then I saw he was not pleased....



Now, what can I do

Kind regards Yvonne

Ms Yvonne!
and it will turn into a prince,
for sure!... or
"no one likes sand rubbed in their face"
especially the little guys...

Hello IBC friends
Hey TOM!
just found this new guy...
has thousands of tiny shinny flakes all over him,
really sparkles in the sun & especially when wet.
stone hold water very well so maybe not hard,
6.5x8.5x4.5"



DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE A FACE???...

Kind regards Yvonne

Yes Ms Yvonne,
As you say exactly! never ending.
so we must constantly journey in life.
King because he won all the fights,
and has earned bloody mating rights!
