Here is a collection of painted rocks photographed in June 2018 from one of my eye periods.
I think this wraps up the week of “more”. I had a couple blog titles naturally start with the word more, and ran with it awhile. Tomorrow we’ll go back to the regularly scheduled title randomness.
In June 2018 I was in the height of my “eyes on rocks” painting period. This octopus eye was one of my favorites.
This rock was put out in the wild for someone to find.
In April 2018 I decided to try making my own garden flags. I taped down cotton cloth on cardboard with masking tape, then used acrylic paint to completely cover the cloth.
Once the paint was dry I hemmed the flags and sewed in the top channel so they could hang on my garden flag pole.
These flags held up remarkably well. If I were to make them again, I would be sure to iron the fabric before taping it down, and sew the pocket at the top wide enough to accommodate the loops that are on my holder. In summary, iron the fabric, and measure twice, cut once, which is good advice for most projects.
In March 2018 my eldest received a corn snake from her grandparents for her birthday. She requested snake themed cupcakes for her cake, and so we made little fondant corn snakes with air brushed patterns.
I remember the snake themed cupcakes, what I didn’t remember were the tiny fondant baby mice.
Oh yes, we set up the cupcakes with the snakes and the mice.
In December 2017 I was very much into my Zentangle doodle phase. I found it paired well with scratch-off art.
The original is long gone. I’m glad I take pictures because I think I enjoy viewing this more now than I did at the time. I’m farther away from the process and don’t remember the “errors.”
