Med den rette sten og en smule fantasi kan du med hjælp fra denne bog lære at kreere alt fra brocher til bordkort. Når du har fundet den helt rigtige sten, kan du spørge dig selv, hvad du kan bruge den til. Og derefter er det kun fantasien, der sætter grænserne. Har stenen form som en mariehøne eller måske en fisk, er den stor nok til at være en bogstøtte eller uformelig som et monster? Mal, sammensæt og brug din stenkunst i hverdagen. Bogen er skrevet af Denise Scicluna, der er en freelance visuel kunstner, der specialiserer sig inden for fotografi, malerkunst og håndværk.
