This one was made using stickers from Aunt Carolyn's stash. I picked this one because Olathe Sweet Corn season has just started and it is the best corn ever! I Mod Podge'd it and then sealed it with concrete sealer.

8/1/18- This rock was originally placed by the Olathe Sweet Corn in City Market on 12th and Patterson.
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.

11/2/18 - Originally abandoned on a bench in Frasier Hall, UNCO
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.

My daughter has claimed this one for her "live" corner in her dorm.
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.
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.

7/26/18- This rock was originally abandoned outside of Larsen Dental on 1st Street in GJ.
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.

7/24/18- This rock was originally placed at the USPS Post Office on 4th St in GJ.
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.
