Rock #53 Home is Where You Hang Your Hat



 I first did this rock in a pastel green and then layered different colors of green to make the background.  I drew the witches hat with a glitter gel pen and then wrote the saying "Home is where you hang your hat" GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment on Facebook #GJRATA I originally abandoned it at Empty Bowls fundraiser for the soup kitchen.

Rock #52 Live the Dream



I originally painted this rock blue and then added the pink in layers over the top, so the blue shows through some in spots.  I then used sharpie to make the silhouette design.  I added white windows and stars and then wrote Live the Dream! GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment  on Facebook #GJRATA
This was originally abandoned in the GJHS Library.  Someone found it and gave it to Mrs Middlemas.  She may hide it somewhere else, we will see...
5/18 - At the end of the school year I swiped it back.  My daughter wants to keep it for now.  She is going to keep it in her "Live Corner" in her dorm at college. She may set it free at a later date.

Rock #51 Flowering Flower

I got this idea from Pinterest.  I think it turned out really good on the black background. GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA
This was originally placed at St Mary's Clinic.  I found a rock (below) as I was going to place this one, so I placed my rock and took the rock that was there and placed it somewhere else at the Clinic.

Rock #50 Live Love Laugh



 I really like the natural look of this rock, so I sealed it and then added the Live. Love. Laugh. and the flowers.  GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment on FB #GJRATA
This was originally abandoned at Red Lobster near a tree in the parking lot.

Rock #49 Fingerprints

I really like this quote, so I came up with a rock to go with it.  The quote says, "When you can't see God's hands, look for His fingerprints!" I then stamped my fingerprint on it. GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA

Rock #48 Sunshine Smiles


This one started with the yellow basecoat.  I then painted the Smiley Sunshine.  I added the words "Smile It's a beautiful day!" GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA This was originally abandoned at Village Inn on North. 

Rock #47 Pumpkin

This rock was sealed as the natural rock.  I then painted a pumkin on it.  GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA I originally abandoned this outside of Rib City on North on top of the Nickel paper holder.

Rock #46 Find Joy in the Journey


I sealed the natural rock and then used Gel Pens to draw the mountain scene and to write: "Find Joy in the Journey" GJ Rocks & Art Treashures Abansonment #GJRATA I originally abandoned this at the Shell Station on Horizon.
