As you can tell, I'm using my hobby as an escape
I retreat to the finished garage to paint

Beautiful!

We were suppose to get rain this weekend, but, nothing!
I had already made plans to retreat to my She-Cave-Garage, I mean paint this group of rocks.

We still have not started our Monsoon Season.
It usually starts as of July 4th,
but all we've gotten is some Thunder Storms and loads of clouds,
producing bupkis!! Well, a coupla spits, but that's it.

Ooh, of course dragn!
I'm no where near as creative as you; I get alot of my ideas
from Pinterest!

Kgirl, I'm not 'creative' but I'm a good 'copy artist'

and thank you - neighbour just got two sizes of river rock for a project - guess I have to do some midnight roaming.

(albeit I would never make a good forger! )

Kgirl, wanna come over and browse thru my neighbours' pile? I saw some real goodies in there.

For sure dragn! I see some real beauts in there!!

I just got me a new Dollar Store bucket, just for washing rocks
that are meant for landscaping too! I use an old dish brush
and get all the nooks and crannies of dirt,
then put them out in the Sun to dry.

I'm guessing you don't need to put a sealer on them, nor over the painting. Plus I'm also assuming you are using Acrylic craft paints?

Well, dragn I do use Acrylic paints along with many other things. Paint pen, glitter glue, glitter, stick on 'gems', goggley eyes and Super Glue them all on...
and yes, you do need to seal them if you want the to last past the first rain, I use Mod Podge and then spray on clear.
There's loads of blogs/videos/forums on Painted Rocks to get you started.

I did the same thing when I went to get that bucket full for only five bucks.

Ladies, my doctor keeps reminding me that as we get older, we women should be lifting weights.

I keep reminding her that I'm good, I cook with cast iron.

 

[dragnlaw]

... I'm good, I cook with cast iron.

Same here! LOL

OM goodness, my bucket was not nearly as full as yours! But I do say that I have a very long driveway to carry them along. And they should be there for a bit, I will go back.

My last Painted Rock for July

I just love these googley-eyed beauties,
AND her Maybelline Blue-Glitter Eye Shadow

 

[Cheryl J]

Very cute, kgirl. My daughter took me to Hobby Lobby when I was visiting her recently, and I saw googly eyes. Should have picked up a package, but was involved in looking at a million other things. LOL
