    Painted Stones Paper Weights & Other Such Creations. rock art. decorative rocks

    Flat stones, chunky stones, all different colored stones! The fun began looking for just the right stones while on vacation and out in our field. Our favorite stone markers fit right into the palm of your hand. Lake Michigan has wonderful stones, smooth and flattened, but you might find the right stone, or even a pebble, anywhere.

    The truth is, I am not as creative as I’d like to be, and I hunted down some really cool stone marker designs to get me started! Do you need help, too?

    From fanciful pets, your whimsical family members, natural paper weights, to garden markers for your herbs, come get creative!

     

    Painted Stones

    Here are some designs that I added to my Pinterest board:

    Fun in the Making!

    If you have a friend who is planting her own herb garden, these would be a beautiful gift, or keep them and dress up your own herbal potager. You might consider signing the back side to make them personalized works-of-art!

    I used a permanent white (Painters brand) marker and gold and silver Sharpies. It is more like writing than painting for these rock markers, so little talent is needed!

    I finished them off with a polyurethane coat so they will be able to take the some weather. I have no idea if they will fade, but I plan to take them into the garden shed each fall.

    Also, for inside stones Mod-Podge is wonderful, or you can find the recipe for a good, frugal, and non-toxic homemade recipe here.

     

    “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, ‘Thus far has the Lord helped us.’ ~1 Samuel 7:12 (a memorial of stones after God intervened and defeated the Philistines while Samuel called out to the Lord)

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      So lovely, so creative! I especially liked the owls. We enjoy picking rocks along the coast of Lake Superior, but I have never painted rocks. The markers for herbs are a great idea!
