New Garden Rocks

I just finished these this week. I painted 3 new Garden Rocks and 2 what I am calling Flower Power Trinket boxes. I love how these are turning out. I used outdoor/patio paints for the rocks. First I put a base coat of white outdoor paint on them and then used colored patio paints to design them. this way they will hold up through the winter. I also finished 2 wood trinket boxes. I primered those in white acrylic paint and then put the main acrylic color on and then put my signature flower power design on the top of the box. The boxes have hinges so that the top opens like a lid and you can put whatever treasures you want inside.

I am going to be displaying these at my Studio Garden Party that I am having on Sunday. It is going to be wonderful and I will post pictures later.

Garden Rock Art

Well I finished the Turtle garden rock! And the words Steady Progress are so appropo for me. Each day I just keep plugging away a little at a time and the great results are showing up. Now the next step is to place them out in my yard which I will do tomorrow and I will take pics to show you.
The next phase is to paint a smaller Garden Rock that I will be giving away at my Studio Garden Party. Some lucky person will be placing a whimsical garden rock in their yard or on their porch!
Like the turtle, steady progress wins the race!

New Garden Rocks

Loving these new Garden Rocks I did! These are actual landscape rocks, @ 6-8 inches and @ 3-5lbs each. My hubby painted primer on them and then I painted a base color coat with outdoor paints .I used construction pencils to draw lightly the design and then I used again outdoor/patio paints and paint pens to color in the design and words.
My 9 yr old grandson Josh actually penciled the base cardinal and branch design on and then I fine tuned and added color, the word and added additional designs of flowers and leaves.
The Diva Power rock was with my 3 yr old granddaughter, Isabell in mind, she loves all things pink and she IS a DIVA!
These will be placed out in the yard along the river rock stream and by the pond. And since they are primered and done in outdoor paints they should withstand the seasons.
