Being Crafty with Rocks!

Well since this summers rock painting workshops, I have accumulated many more rocks that I will ever use for times when I feel like... well... painting a rock! My workshop that I did this summer was of puffin heads, (And try finding a whack of puffin head shaped rocks! It took me 4 trips and 5 islands to get them all! Yikes!) but I did create a bunch more rocks just to show the people involved in the workshops that there are more things you can do and paint with them. Here is the puffin that I did, and also a bunch more I did for fun. :)




Now, the other rocks I picked up were much smaller. I found a bunch of small round rocks and of course made me think of my Fatties. I had always thought about making them into magnets and though that rocks made sense! So with the help of a glue gun, a few Popsicle sticks, toothpicks and of course magnets, I made these three little fellas yesterday afternoon after I completed my painting. I must say, it's cool to see these guys in 3D. I will try and figure out an easier way of doing the legs, but otherwise I will probably make more of these. :D


Aside from the rocks, here is yet another painting of puffins that I did for someone. They saw one of my earlier puffin paintings with the waves and fish (capelin) that I did for my father, and wanted one similar to that.

So this is it! :)
