How It's Made - ArtRocks Edition!

*Hi everyone! Today I'm going to show you all the work that goes into creating an Inspired Stone. It was really interesting to document the process--quite an insightful experience. I hope you enjoy it!
*
Step 1: The rocks are chosen and washed.
*
^
Step 2: The stones are dried and the design is decided upon.
*
*
Step 3: I begin to pencil in the design.
*
*
Step 4: I fill in the text and outline the drawing. I love this part!
*
*
Step 5: The colour is added!
*
*
At this point, I may leave the rock for a few days while I am doing other work so as to decide if it is complete. Finally, the Inspired Stone is signed and double-glazed. Done!
*
Talk to you next week when I hope to share some inspiration and smiles! :)
I'm looking forward to seeing some of you this coming weekend at Fort Whyte Alive!

  3. Hi Becca,

    Thanks for the comment! I use acrylic paints ( the same as what you would use on a canvas).
    hope to hear from you again!
