About me and rocks...I have been collecting rocks since I was a small child. I had many, many, many of my parents' old tobacco cans lining the basement staircase filled with rocks and rock dust. I would break the rocks open to see what the inside looked like, I would crush rocks to dust to see the differences of each kind. I took a geology class in university and loved it. I married a geologist. Suffice it to say that I have always loved rocks and that my house is full of them to this day.
So when Zoo's sister came out to paint rocks with us last year, I was thrilled. She showed us how to do a pour and then we went to town painting away.
This past winter I was sorting one of the pails of beach rocks I have in my craft room and decided to try out some dot painting. Turns out I love it and was surprised to discover that hours had gone by when doing so. These are my first ones with a big bug that I had a blast painting to go along with it.
Below...On my latest trip, a couple months ago, to Zoo's, we once again had her lovely sister out to paint more rocks. I once again worked on mandalas, this time using the dowels from Zoo's house and a beginner YouTube video. I will do a post on dot mandalas next, as I don't have her link on me now.
Well. I am finished for today. I see on the preview that the picture still do not line up the way I had hoped but I will work on it again another day. Hope you are having a fun and relaxing day like myself. Happy Spring!
