Gosh, I can't believe that I haven't Painted ANY Rocks since October!! :ohmy:

I was cleaning up the garage and saw my 5gallon bucket of rocks,
all lonely and dejected ... I took the remainder of my loot,
washed and dried them and have only a dozen and a half left from
my $5 purchase back in June of 2019

I tried a new-to-me technique of photo transferring on to rocks.
You print your image on to white tissue paper!
This is a favorite photo that I took while visiting
Mount Rushmore back in 2013 ... that was so much fun!!
But, meh :mellow: I think I need to try this a different eay.

We're going out tomorrow on a day trip and I want to
be able to take some Rocks with us!!!
These are still a bit tacky.

Lee, I made DH promise me that the next time we go to Las Vegas, we're stopping here!!! I think that is just so cool. I believe that they will be removing this Art piece sometime this Summer, so ...

It’s a big tourist stop. Shame to see it go. It’s been well maintained.
 
oh oh oh....

how'd you do the penny one! Real penny?

I can do that. Have a collection from my ex - serve him right if I use them to put on rocks to give away! LOL

Yes dragn, that a real Penny!
If you have a pretty flat rock and a lot of good, not the cheap stuff, Super Glue it'll work.

I've done a few like this, I think it's pretty cool, tongue in cheek.
DH doesn't get the pun :mellow:

I wrote "lucky" on the wrong side this time, oh well.

But ya know, dragn, some old Pennies are worth a nice chunk o' change!!!
Just sayin'
 
All Canadian pennies are collector's items of a sort, nowadays. We don't use them anymore. The last pennies were minted in 2012. The mint stopped distributing them in 2013. They are discontinued, but still legal tender.
 
Rummaging thru the storage area, I read the contents of one of my craft boxes and said "Rocks". My son said "What!"

Tarnation! wasn't supposed to let it slip I shipped 'rocks' - LOL but they were already washed and primed!

(and it was a heavy box too - although I tried not to put too many in the same box) :angel:

Well, that's your stuff dragn, you can ship whatever you want.

But now you make me feel bad that I convinced my Mother to
donate or ditch most of her stuff when we left Hawaii for AZ.
I said, "Mom, how old is this XYZ? 20years? 30? MORE? You deserve
new stuff!!!"
Oh, don't get me wrong, if it was a family heirloom or precious to her,
we packed up all nice for her, but then we were paying for it too ;)
 
Some of my work.
