In a forest near me you can see this gigantic stone. When I was a kid they told me that a Giant was throwing the stone, you can se some marks on one side too, like marks from a big hand with nails.
But now I know that is was ice, the Continental Glacier, that a long, a very long time ago made those marks on the big boulder.
Here you have it from another angle. You have another big stone there too.
I live in Sweden and write for a living, as a journalist and writer. In this blog I talk about my mother Gunvor's work as an artist, my travel around the world and a lot more.

Stone-faced
This is really a stone-face - or should I say many faces in stone. As usual it is a piece of art made by my mother Gunvor. She worked in many materials, one of them where stone.
She found these stones here out in the country and then she made this piece of art from them.
