Join me



I covered all the stones with a clear spray front and back to help them stand the outside weather until someone finds them.
I wonder if this thing could catch on with other people making and leaving gypsystones everywhere. In a way it's like a cool business card with my blog address on the back of each one. No telling where it could lead to. It seems like a good homeschooling project too.

More Gypsystones






I got up this morning and as soon as my daughter left to go to a meeting and my boyfriend left to go to the dentist, I got out my painting supplies and painted some more gypsystones. I think I will start putting them in one of those little baggies before I set them out for people to find to protect them from the elements better. As soon as they are good and dry I'll sign them and spray them with a protective finish. I'm always surprised at what comes out of my paint brush. Funny the things that lurk in our subconcious mind waiting for a chance to come forward and shout, "Hey look at me."

New Rocks on the Way

We were hoping to go to Quartzsite AZ next weekend, which would be an excellent chance to leave gypsystones around. But now my bf has the toothache from hell so it looks like we are not going to get to go. And there is no way I'd want to be out in the middle of the desert with a toothache. The mere thought of it makes my teeth hurt. I'm going to paint some new gypsystones anyway just in case. I found some rocks I'd already painted the background on so the fun part is next. Maybe I'll do a spring theme since spring is just around the corner.

And if we don't go to AZ I can always leave them around the local area. I'm also making a box of finished items as give aways. So I can add some painted rocks to that as well.
