It’s time for another round of rock painting inspiration! They’re in order of how I feel about how they turned out (from best to worst):

Last week Mica sent me a pic of a rock she found with a cat riding a chicken and I was inspired to do something similar. I copied this Microsoft cat riding a t-rex. Faces and hands are hard to draw, but I’ll get better with practice (I hope). I love how T-Rex’s teeth turned out.

Snister sent me an image of these flannel joggers with pups in PJs on them. Too cute! I’m going to hide these on my walk tomorrow.

I already shared these, but I love them so I will again – snister also sent me an image of these cats in coffee mugs. I hid these Monday last week.

Mom sent me a picture of these stickers and it inspired me to make this derpy dino rock during lunch today! Not sure if I will do more of the series.

I was using this paper to wrap my nephews’ birthday gifts and though I should do some party animals to hide on New Year’s Day! (Which I did, then people in my rock group were looking for them and trying to trade for their favorite – funny!)

Yes, they all look like they are smoking cigars.

Snister sent me a pic of this adorable tea towel! Simple designs like this are really hard to copy because you have to get them just right. I made two of these rocks. The first one is bad and the second one is below.

And finally, these stupid glitter hearts. These were so cool in my head and just turned out meh. I made three more last night that are also meh. I got so mad at the black one below for never curing because I am impatient and would not let it dry between sealant coats (and also put too much glitter on it) and threw it in the woods.

And that’s all I can share for now, since I’ve been working on a bunch of gifts. Rocks! The present you didn’t know you wanted.

I am learning so much about rock painting. This week I learned that besides sealant, so people put varnish on their rock so it won’t scratch. When I hide mine I’ve been carrying them in a lunch bag with foam in between them so they don’t scratch each other! I ordered some varnish to try. I really love the natural look and the way the design pops on the matte rocks so we’ll see if the matte varnish does that.
