    I remember doing rock paintings many years ago as a kid. Really fun stuff as the shape of the rock dictated what it was going to be :)

    These are fabulous! You could have fooled me that you're not a painter! I love your color choices. I'd like to try my hand at this...where do you get the rocks?

    Love them,,I would take your koi pond and put it in a container, Bowl or something, and add water and a small pump and have a mini pond.
