Fossil Rock

I saw a recent ad for a company called Eostone.? They are a natural stone artifacts company and provide genuine fossils and “other natural history antiquities” to designers, architects and company clients.? Their private quarry in Wyoming was once a freshwater lake abundant with plants, fish and reptiles.? Read more of their fascinating story and fossil history. ? They also have a gorgeous application gallery.

While nothing can replace the beauty of genuine fossils, the look can be emulated.? Start with a heavy stone texture and then embed your client’s preferred natural elements.? Let the texture dry, then pull the elements and fill in with the appropriate colors.? Here is a reception office we did a few years ago in Sarasota, FL.? There’s also a close-up.

I hope you’ve enjoyed a peek into this particular texture.? Tomorrow, we go back to a business post on print media.? It’s a guest entry by my sister, Suzanne, and she has some good advice to impart.? Until then!
