Little Zen Gardens


Catherine and I have been playing around with miniature Zen Gardens this weekend. We each have our own bowl of white sand, a set of chopsticks and our gemstone collections. Traditionally we should use miniature rakes, but I haven't been able to find those yet, so we're making do with chopsticks for now. Catherine, it turns out, has quite a flair for design - she has come up with some really beautiful combinations. I tend to be more inhibited in mine. It has been very relaxing to sit together at the table, creating new patterns and chatting about this and that.

Anyway, this will give you some idea of what my bowl is like - Catherine plans to write about hers on her own blogsite.
