#76 Earth

This rock had concrete that was stuck to it.  When I did the basecoat it reminded me of land formations, so I painted it to make it look like the earth.

#75 Toys on Shelf

This one was 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.

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.

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.
