    You have all beauty within you, Jeffrey. I am so happy you found a way to let it escape your soul, ignite our minds and respond in prayer. 💜 thank you for sharing. 3 of my siblings were born on Whitby (sp?) Island, and I was conceived there. Ty for bringing me home. My Dad was a rock hound and built rock walls. Now I see his inspiration. I wish you peace, friend.

    Awesome work. Story I have to share. Originally from Mexico my dad worked as an “albañil” which is a mason and would help pave roads with rocks. He bought his first house in Washington state back in like 93-94. He made a driveway with grooves similar to your work. Only thing is he only used dirt to hold rocks in place and it’s still standing almost 30 years later. Solid as the first day it was installed

      Thank you! I had thought the same could we not just use dirt or a clay soil to keep them in place? Did your dad wet the dirt first ? I like the idea of using only natural things...

    I have been coming across your work for years. Absolutely beautiful. So unique with such a personal touch. Years ago I found a picture of a front walkway you designed and it inspired me to do my own. I too collect my own rocks and prefer to use raw material. My first attempt did not turn out the way I wanted so I am back to the drawing board and came across this video. I finally get to see the man behind the art and learn a bit about you. Plus, I learned exactly what I needed to create my own special place. You seem to be as beautiful as your art. Thank you.

    Be still my heart - such a garden! The mosiac works of art are mesmerizing and inspiring. Your words about beauty are what I needed to hear to keep going with my own garden design projects. The world needs more beauty and art and beautiful gardens. Pleasure gardens - oh my, such a fanciful but much needed concept of old. It will do us good to revive the concept of pleasure gardens and sanctuary. Man does not live on bread alone...Thanks for giving us a little insight on your methods - time to play in the garden!

    I wonder if the stones he uses are pre polished?. Does he polishes them? I’m in the process of building a pebble sidewalk. I got river rock from the local quarry but the stones are gritty and dull. Until they are sprayed with water you really can’t see their beauty and color. So I thought about using a high gloss sealer to bring out their color after I lay the sidewalk. Is that a good idea? He seems to be working with wet concrete which seems like it would dry more stable but I also saw a videotape saying to use a 2” dry mortar mix and then after your design is in place top it off with more mortar mix. How to’s seem rather scarce on the subject of pebble mosaics. Any advice links would be welcome!😝🤪🙃

    In most of Europe you are not allowed to take stones from the beach. You also can’t build houses within a 100 metres of the coast. I lately learned that you are also not allowed to take the seaweed from the beach.

    • @Juhulia76
      @Juhulia76 3 місяці тому

      It really depends on the country. They collect seaweed for insulating houses in Denmark for example.
      Apart from that: In German we say: " Wo kein Kläger, da kein Richter" Meaning it doesn’t matter what the official legislation is, as long as noone feels bothered you will be fine.
