#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.

#GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment

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.

#59 Reason for the Season

It's as little hard to see in the picture, but it says "Remember the Reason for the Season" with Christmas Tree.
Has not been placed yet...

#57 and #58 Let it Snow and Be Merry

These were made in November 2017.

Let it Snow was originally placed at the Hilton in NYC when we were there for my daughter's performance at Carnegie Hall in Feb 2018.

Be Merry - I believe is in one of my Christmas boxes somewhere?  I'll have to find it before I can place it.

Rocks #54 Hope, #55 Patience, and #56 Charity

 I had these ones base coated for quite some time and then I used Gel Pens to write and decorate them. GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA

Rock #53 Home is Where You Hang Your Hat

 I first did this rock in a pastel green and then layered different colors of green to make the background.  I drew the witches hat with a glitter gel pen and then wrote the saying "Home is where you hang your hat" GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment on Facebook #GJRATA I originally abandoned it at Empty Bowls fundraiser for the soup kitchen.

Rock #52 Live the Dream

I originally painted this rock blue and then added the pink in layers over the top, so the blue shows through some in spots.  I then used sharpie to make the silhouette design.  I added white windows and stars and then wrote Live the Dream! GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment  on Facebook #GJRATA

This was originally abandoned in the GJHS Library.  Someone found it and gave it to Mrs Middlemas.  She may hide it somewhere else, we will see...

5/18 - At the end of the school year I swiped it back.  My daughter wants to keep it for now.  She is going to keep it in her "Live Corner" in her dorm at college. She may set it free at a later date.

Rock #51 Flowering Flower

I got this idea from Pinterest.  I think it turned out really good on the black background. GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA
This was originally placed at St Mary's Clinic.  I found a rock (below) as I was going to place this one, so I placed my rock and took the rock that was there and placed it somewhere else at the Clinic.

Rock #50 Live Love Laugh

 I really like the natural look of this rock, so I sealed it and then added the Live. Love. Laugh. and the flowers.  GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment on FB #GJRATA

This was originally abandoned at Red Lobster near a tree in the parking lot.

Rock #49 Fingerprints

I really like this quote, so I came up with a rock to go with it.  The quote says, "When you can't see God's hands, look for His fingerprints!" I then stamped my fingerprint on it. GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA

Rock #48 Sunshine Smiles

This one started with the yellow basecoat.  I then painted the Smiley Sunshine.  I added the words "Smile It's a beautiful day!" GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA This was originally abandoned at Village Inn on North. 

Rock #47 Pumpkin

This rock was sealed as the natural rock.  I then painted a pumkin on it.  GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment #GJRATA I originally abandoned this outside of Rib City on North on top of the Nickel paper holder.

Rock #46 Find Joy in the Journey

I sealed the natural rock and then used Gel Pens to draw the mountain scene and to write: "Find Joy in the Journey" GJ Rocks & Art Treashures Abansonment #GJRATA I originally abandoned this at the Shell Station on Horizon.

Rock #45 Trust God

I saw something similar to this design on Pinterest.  I decided to paint the decorations similar to what I saw on Pinterest.  I then added the words Trust God.  #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment I was going to abandon this one at the Church, but handed it off to a friend instead.

Rock #44 Jewel Art

This rock was also painted with the platinum paint to give the rock a shimmer.  I then used outdoor Mod Podge to glue down the jewels on this.  Sealed with Krylon. #GJRATA GJ Rocks & Art Treasures Abandonment This was originally abandoned at Sam's Club in the parking lot.
