Flowstones are mesmerizing to look at and to hold—and they're easy to make!

Conceived of by artist Amy Goldin, "flowstones" are crafted by molding a sheet of polymer clay around a smooth river rock. They impart a sense of calm to the holder, grounded by the weight and soothed by the smooth surface. Each stone's unique shape and pattern gives it a beauty all its own.

In Flowstones, Goldin shares beautiful photographs of the many stones she has created, captured in nature, where their striking appearance contrasts with landscapes of smooth river rocks, grassy parks, and sandy beaches. Goldin includes step-by-step illustrated instructions so even the most hesitant crafters can enjoy creating these delightful objects.

      Starred review from March 15, 2018

      Multimedia artist Goldin developed flowstones as a way to combine art (polymer clay) with nature (smooth river rocks in an array of shapes). The stones are decorative objects that also serve as a focus for meditation. In a brief introductory essay, Goldin describes her process and the state of creative flow she reaches while making the stones (hence the name flowstones). A gallery of her work photographed in natural settings follows, along with instructions for crafters to create their own flowstones. Those with polymer clay experience will recognize many of the techniques, such as Skinner blends and basic canes, and Goldin encourages free-form experimentation. VERDICT Given the popularity of both painted rocks and mindfulness meditation, Goldin's flowstones could easily capture the imagination of crafters.
