#112 Scooby-Doo's Doo Good

I ordered Scooby stamps for first-class mail from the USPS. This is the part of the sticker that was on the side of the stamps.  I cut around the design to make the white border.  I sealed it with concrete sealer.

#110 Dino head

After this one was base coated, I saw the vision of what I wanted to do.  Using the crack in the rock, I painted the mouth.  Then I added the eyeball to make it look like a Dino.

#108 dots & lines by Melody & Lori

My daughter started this one when she was sick by putting the dots on there.  She didn't feel up to finishing it before she moved away to college, so I added the lines to finish it. Sealed with concrete sealer.

#107 Be at ease in your own shell Turtle

For this cute little guy, I just googled clip art and looked at what image I wanted to paint.  This cute little guy jumped out at me.  Since I love turtles, I just couldn't resist!  I used the Uni Posca paint pens and then sealed with concrete sealer.

I was trying out my new paint pens (Uni Posca) I really like them.  They do smear slightly when sealed with concrete sealer, but not enough to really show up or mess up the art.

9/21/18 - Left in the waiting room at Jeff's Automotive.

10/18 Was still at the shop several weeks later, so I added it back to my bag of rocks to abandon.

#104 Golf Course

I first painted this one the tan color.  After the base coat I saw the vision for the final product.  The rock had some concrete stuck to it, so I painted the raised part a different color green than the main part of the rock.  I added the black dot for the hole and there ya have it. A golf course.  I have asked a couple people what they thought it was (without giving any hints) and so far only my husband could tell me without me telling them.  Once they were told, they all were like "Yeah I see it." Sealed with concrete sealer.

#103 Choc Chip Cookie





I painted this one based on what I "saw" in the shape of the rock.  It didn't turn out quite like what I had in my head, but it turned out ok I guess. Sealed with Concrete sealer.

9/13/18 - Stopped by Rib City and it was Still in the rocks, but it had been turned over.  I returned it to upright so it could more easily be seen.
9/15/18 - Had dinner with the family at Rib City and it was still there.  Nikki wanted to keep it, so I let her.
