ROCK your paints!!!!

Since my office is back in order, I've had a chance to go through some boxes we still haven't unpacked since moving here. I came across a bunch of rocks that I painted around the time my son was born (about 10 years ago)....I loooove painting! I'd find cool shaped rocks and paint them into houses. I even made little nativity scenes on tiny rocks but gave them away as gifts and didn't get any pictures of them (waaah!). They make great paperweights...lol! I have sold some but here is a little sample of my favourites:


We put the Haunted House out every year at Halloween!





This one is roughly the size of the top of a tootsie pop sucker!

The chimneys are formed using wood filler, then, when dry (which takes no time at all), you can paint right over it!


Its a great activity to do with the kids (very inexpensive) and the hunt for the perfect rock is sometimes the best part!


Thanks for stopping by! Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

  3. Your painted stones are fabulous - I painted some small stones when I was young - nothing like yours though!
