The image shown is a selection of my rock creations.

I take a small pebble, paint a white base coat, then paint multiple layers of whatever the primary colour of the pebble will be. I then use an ideation sketch, or just go with the flow and see where the ideas take me! I like to add iridescent paint to some of my rocks for a little bit of extra sparkle too…

After painting, the rocks are then varnished three times with a satin varnish, protecting both the paint as well as the rock underneath!

Seen here: a small chick, a blue beetle, a lady bird, and some alliums.
