Hey - that sounds like a fun new hobby. Rock collecting is a thing around here -- people paint them and leave them in odd places for others to find. I think the general rule is when you find one, you leave one. Or something. I don't really know because I never actually SEE anyone doing it, but the rock in the front flowerbed at the library keeps changing so it's either that or gremlins. I'll be looking forward to seeing where you go with this new hobby!
Outstanding!! I love this! We have a rail trail just across the river fro our house and we find them all the time. There are some really cool rocks out there! Super job!
Ro, what a perfect rock & bright color for everyone to see! Where I live they have been doing this for a while. When my friend & I went walking one day I found one, moved it to another spot & a couple days later it was gone. Here you can keep or move it some where else. When I use to do home craft shows soooooo many years ago I use to paint rocks with snowmen or whatever on them. My husband always called me "Mooseheart" because he said I had a big heart, so I painted a head of a moose on a rock & it sits on my bedside today. Have fun making people smile!:)
Ive been wanting to try rock painting so last wk I went to one of our local junk stores and found some used crafting paints and a little paint brush. As I was checking out I noticed this near perfect black rock on the counter for a quarter and I said 'ha' my first rock! The guy gave me the little paint brush and the rock! I then went out and bought a new can of clear acrylic lacquer. I painted the rock with 2 coats of yellow acrylic paint. When it was dry I stamped the image with 2 different stamps with StazOn black ink. Waited a couple hrs for it to dry but...maybe...I should have tested it. huh? I then sprayed on the lacquer and the ink ran. So what, its my 1st attempt! I think Im gonna leave the rock on the ground at the senior housing where I work. Im gonna hafta add my name or 'leave here' to the back side or itll probably disappear. Your thoughts are always welcome and very appreciated. Thanks! :o)Ro
