Rock #38 Fairy on Rainbow


I used left over paint from rock #40 to do the rainbow background.  I used a vinyl stencil for the fairy, but it pulled up a lot of paint and looked like a blob rather than a fairy.  I then tried to cut a stencil from paper to use to make it look more like a fairy.  It helped some, but I had to do a lot of touch up and free hand to make it look like a fairy again.  #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment.

Rock #37 Music is Love

This started out as a black background.  I then used a vinyl stencil for the treble clef.  After touching up the paint that was pulled up from the vinyl, I outlined the treble clef with a red Gelly Roll pen.  I used the white Gelly Roll pen to write "Music is... Love!" #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment This was originally abandoned at WalMart on Rimrock.

Rock #36 Tiger Paw Dot Art

I 
I got this idea from Pinterest but modified it to be a tiger paw not a dog paw. I started with a black background then used vinyl as a stencil for the paw.  Touched up the paint that was pulled off with the vinyl and then added the silver dots outlining the paw.  I then filled in the rest of the space with different colored orange dots.  #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment

Rock #35 When Words Fail, Music Speaks! black background with Rainbow


I did this one starting with a black background then put a vinyl sticker (cut with my Silhouette Cameo) and painted the rainbow over it.  The sticker pulled up the paint, so I had to do some touch up. I then used my Gelly Roll pens to write the saying "When words fail, Music Speaks!" #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment

Rock #34 Rainbow Fairy Believe

For this rock, I started with the black background.  I then used a vinyl sticker that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo and painted the rainbow over the sticker.  I then pulled the vinyl off to reveal the black underneath.  Unfortunately it also pulled off the black paint when I pulled off the sticker, so I had to repaint the area where the sticker was.  I then added the word believe with one of my Gelly Roll pens. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment
I left this in the lobby at Jeff's Automotive to replace the turtle that had been there for over a month.

Rock #33 Stainglass Flower

I got this idea from Pinterest.  I used puff paint to make the outline and the dots around the edge.  I then used water colors to color the inside of the flower to make it look like stained glass. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment This was originally abandoned at Sam's Club during the pouring rain.

Rocks #26 Gel Pen Flower on light rock

It turned out pretty good. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment This was originally abandoned at the mall near a tree in the parking lot near JC Penney.

Rock #25 Gel Pen Flower


This one I was experimenting with my gel pens from Shuttle Art.  The first picture I had drawn the flower directly to the rock.  I thought it would look cute with a pearl finish, but when I covered it, it smeared.  So I painted with the pearl finish and then drew on top of the pearl finish for the second picture. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment This rock was originally abandoned in the parking lot of Texas Roadhouse.
