Description:

There are a lot of examples on Pinterest and just googling it. Seen some cute ones on both examples. This is senders choice, any size,any subject, up to you.

Size is not important, whatever you can mail. However, a pebble 1/2inch might be too small. You can use acrylic, oil, what ever will adhere to the item you are painting. The try to put a protectant over after dried to protect it. You can do just the front of stone or the front up to sender. Sign or initial the back.

A note with your name and this swap name will help too a well a rating after you receive.

Check Google"Painted Shells" "Painted rocks" for ideas too

Newbies okay if I see an interest by their profile filled out. No one with a 1 rating this year. 3 ratings are really interesting to read so I still let you in unless you have 12 of them. So my discretion on banning or not

Just one item painted to one swapper. You can start it any time to send early as this is not profiled based unless you notice people like a certain scene on their page like a mermaid or a type of something. Still up to sender.

I am over-the-moon happy to find this swap! I love to paint rocks! This gives me a good reason to get out and find the perfect rocks! (haven't painted any in a while)

Thanks! Brilliant idea!

@ladydy5 Thank you so much for hosting this swap! I agree with @pinkpolarbear I am over-the-moon happy to find this swap!

I have not painted rocks in AGES ~ literally I'm 41 now and I think I was in single digits LOL

I searched online for a good protectant and found Mod Podge® Outdoor. If you have a better suggestion, please let me know.

Any modpog seems to work I have used a spray protective finish from Rustoleum Matte only after completely dried painting.
