playing with stones

Back in June when we hit the beach and crafted up a storm, we spent a lot of time with rocks and stones.

We drew pictures on them with pain pens.

And we wrote messages across their surfaces.

 

The colors of the paint pens were so happy and cheerful, I scooped up a pile of rocks and got to making itty bitty people parts (complete with seaweed hats). I also borrowed a face or two from our resident artist, Ander.

I drew parts on both sides of each stone for more mix and match fun. Now I need to put them together with a tin or box.

Can't you just imagine all the fun to be had?

we wrapped more stones with string....

and left them on the beach....

select a stone

tie some string around it

continue wrapping

add a second color if you wish

go crazy and have fun!
