    My first rock. I have tried many times to duplicate this rock and they never get right for me.

    Rock painting is a cheap hobby. The rocks are usually free. lol.

    Oh, those are great rocks! The strawberries are wonderful--how did you ever find that many rocks of the right size and shape? You must be some rock hound!
    If Cheryl sees your painted rocks, there won't be a stone safe in Texas!

    I just love the strawberries too, Netty. YUM, I could eat them on my breakfast cereal.

    I love your first one of the cat. That is awesome! And the bowl of berries is pretty darn impressive. I hope no one has tried eating them! :-D
    Jane.... the rocks are safe around here... I don't have that kind of talent! ;)
    Thanks for showing them to us Don. Very nice!

    That Siamese cat is a real work of art as are those strawberries and roses. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

    Those are great, hard to choose a favorite but the strawberries are so unique that they have to be #1 on my list.

    I wish we had rocks in our soil I'd like to try painting some.

    Oh, my! Excellent work. We've got plenty of rocks, but seeing your Siamese and those strawberries makes me think I'd best send the rocks your way. :D

    Thanks for the inspiration. I did the same thing on pieces of wood. Turned out really nice but I wanted to try something else as well.

    rocks

    Those are really cool looking rocks. Do you have one of those rock painting books from Michaels? They have alot of cool ideas. I never tried painting rocks yet, soon maybe. Those river rocks?

    Great job Donm. I read somewhere that if you put rocks the size of strawberries in your berry patch before your berries ripen. It will fool the birds and when they try and eat the rock they find out they can't. Then when your berries ripen they are suppose to leave them alone.
    Your berry rocks would work great for that. They look good enough to eat. :stew1:
