I have seen your smiles and excitement at finding a hidden painted rock along the trail! And just last week at the beach, a young boy walked up to our group to show off the beautiful painted rock he found on the beach.
To think that something so small and practically free can bring such joy to others...well, doesn't that excite you? It does me! And it doesn't have to be skillfully artistic. We're talking dots! It's the find that causes an excited young boy to approach a group of friendly strangers to show off his new treasure, and the pleasure of making something for others to find more than doubles back to you.
On Friday, June 7th, you are invited to "Play" at painting a rock or two to hide along the trail on one of our walks. I have two friends from our "Artist's Heart" group that are going to teach us how to paint Rock Mandalas for abandoning along the trail. There will be time for you to paint one for yourself to keep as well if you'd like! And if you decide you just want to paint it any ol' way, that's okay too! I have a Pole-R Bear Rock to leave somewhere already.

BRING:
- 2 or 3 Smooth Rocks to paint. ( 3-4 inches in diameter is a nice size). (If you can't find one or are unable to get out to get one, let me know and I will have extras on hand)
To prep the rocks for painting, scrub off any dirt, moss, algae, etc. - (mine had been blessed by a seagull!)
- soak them in water to clean and remove any salt water residue. I put mine in the dishwasher afterwards.
- One of the rocks will need an acrylic paint base coat, which, if you get your rock to me by the Wed. June 5th walk, I will do that for you. Please put it in a little bag with your name on it.
- There will be LOTS of tools here for you to use but if you want to bring some from home to try, suitable ones might include various sizes of crochet hooks, pencils, paint brushes ( it's the end that will be used)
- That's it! Everyone Welcome so reserve your spot ASAP!
