My wife got me a rock tumbler for Christmas. So I made some jagged rocks into pretty and shinning rounded rocks. I haven't yet figured out what to do with them...

I love writing music.
A number of years ago I wrote a track called "New Horizons", which featured synths, percussion and loops.
Recently, I've used the same melody to provide a more romantic, ballad version of the same track using piano, light percussion and strings.

The Original

The New Version

My music composition "Footprints" with video footage I took on Alnmouth beach, mixed together and I have narrated the poem.

It is really not noticeable in the photos. But i planed down the wood pieces (about 1/4 inch thinner) that hold the puzzle pieces in place. So they can be picked up easier.

This angle shot shows the raised puzzle pieces.

Where did you get those rocks?

Actually that's the fun part. I love looking for rocks, so I just kept an eye open around my neighborhood or when I went camping or traveling. The rocks are from all over. Just look for ones that aren't too big or too small, about 1 to 3 inches in diameter.

Are those the rocks natural colors?

Are those the rocks natural colors?

Yes, all natural. It like rocks you see in a stream, the colors really stand out. BTW if you get rocks that nature has already mostly polished and smoothed (like from a river or the beach) you can skip the initial steps in the polishing process.
