| Painted rocks - my pandemic pastime! |
This week, Randy Seaver issued a "Saturday Night Genealogy Fun" to describe hobbies or pastimes, other than genealogy, that we're currently enjoying or have enjoyed in the past. Randy, I accept your challenge!
During the pandemic, I've been trying my hand at rock painting. The bottom rock is an early try, using a stencil and a specialty brush. Then I began browsing Pinterest for more elaborate designs and found lots of inspiration.
The top two rocks are critters I painted more recently, based on designs pinned to Pinterest.
None of these rocks is larger than 4 inches long. It doesn't take long to paint one, and with a top-coat for protection, they look great as decoration or ornaments in house plants.
Yes, I actually had to buy smooth rocks suitable for painting, but this is not an expensive hobby. And yes, some painted rocks (or painted coal lumps) may find their way into Christmas stockings this December ;)
I've seen some painted rocks of cats. I love your three designs. So cute - pet rocks may come back into vogue. :)
ReplyDeletelove your rocks! our little town in Idaho paints and hides rocks around the county for others to find. There is even a fb page for posting if you find one.
