I tried rock dotting for the first time

The last few months, I've been stalking, I mean, looking into videos on dotting rocks.
I've been slowly accruing the required items: dotting tools, paint, rocks, and
finally decided to stop procrastinating and actually paint some.
I found this tutorial and thought I'd give it a go.
Here's what I made:


 In the video, she added tiny white dots between all the colored ones. I
didn't want to screw up the design any more than I did, so opted to
leave the white dots out. Some close-ups:









 My plan from the start was to distribute these around the neighborhood,
to be found by observant people. On the bottom of the rocks I added affirmative notes.


I had so much fun painting these! Now I'm off to find another 
pattern to paint. ☺

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
