#68 Say Cheese

This one was also made using stickers from Aunt Carolyn's stash.  It is a vellum sticker, so it was a little harder trying to get it to lay flat against the curve of the rock.  I Mod Podge'd it and then sealed it with concrete sealer.

#66 Triple Yellow Flowers

I tried a new to me techniques with the rocks, so the next several rock were all done with this method.  I put stickers on the painted rock and then sealed it.  The first batch I Mod Podge'd the stickers to the painted rock and then sealed it with concrete sealer.  I received a lot of stickers from my Aunt Carolyn who is a retired school teacher and wanted to get rid of her very large sticker stash.

#65 Flower Mandala

This was drawn with the gel pens that are more clear when they dry, so it is hard to photograph. I sealed it with Krylon and it pealed, so I resealed it with concrete sealer.

7/26/18 - This rock was abandoned At Larsen Dental on 1st Street in the waiting area.

#64 Dot Flower

This one was also done with the new gel pens.  The design is raised, so you can feel it.  I sealed it with Krylon and it pealed (I think due to the smooth rock)  I then sealed it with the concrete sealer.

#63 Ladybug

I got some small rocks from the store and they were smooth.  I drew a ladybug with the new gel pens and then when I sealed it, the seal started to chip off.  It looks like it is peeling.  I then sealed it with concrete sealer and if I use these stones again, that is the way they need to be sealed.

#62 Palm Tree on the beach


 
Made this one at the Lauretta Family Reunion with the gel pens.  When it was sealed it "washed out" some of the design.

#61 Mandala type design

Trying out the new gel pens on bare rock.  The design is a little hard to see. I think I would use a base coat it I were to use these pens again.

7/25/18- This rock was originally placed at Grand West Kia by the parts dept.

#60 Love Yourself double heart




I got some new gel pens and wanted to try out a stained glass look.  This double heart and Love Yourself just happened to be what came to mind.  It looked really cool before I sealed it.  When I sealed it, it changed the pens that looked like chalk before to look somewhat blotchy.
My daughter has claimed this one to be in her "live" corner in her dorm.
