The clean and glossy stones are then lined up to await Mr Bunyong's imagination. At my leisure, I pick the stones up and turn them around, imagining what they look like. Very often, one has a number of eye-catching forms and then I choose the best spot. Placed and glued on wooden bases, all the stones are completely natural-no cuts are made and no decorations are added. The shape of the stone is kept intact.
Nature is the greatest creator.
Though some stir his imagination, many are left in the storage room. When finding a theme or name for the stones is hard, Mr Bunyong calls his friends in to help. Some stones hold clear images. But often I get stuck and can't visualise what I am looking at. One stone took Mr Bunyong six years before he came up with the final idea.
