Rock Art

I needed some paperweights to use on my table at the art market, so I thought I would create little natural 'art works' , to look cute while being useful!

Here is what you will need;


A beautiful hill country river, with a rocky riverbed.........









With lots of gorgeous views to inspire you...








A cute red head 'helper' to find the best stones........








And to help test which stones 'throw the best'.......






Some of this and a fine paintbrush....





Select your favorite stones........









And , voila, cute paperweights,or plant rocks,or... place 3 on a windowsill ( will look very 'Zen')








A littl bit'o'fun

Cheers , Helen

PS ,( only problem is people keep wanting to buy them off the table!)

  5. Maybe you should start selling you paper weight rocks? I think they're fantastic.
    Also, you're so welcome for the glass decal tutorial. I hope you make something special with it. You could also apply the decals to your rocks? Just a thought.
