Painting On Stones, ROCKS! #painting #crafts #rockpainting

When you have a crafty daughter you get to pull out all the craft things you didn't always have time for before she got to be a fun crafty age.

She goes through our craft bins often and as you can see, there is always glitter. Glitter is something you will always find on my rug. I cannot keep up with the amount of spillage that gets worked into the nasty old carpet.

Last week I set up a table on the deck and called her outside. This is how we roll!

Goddess has been collecting interesting (in her mind) rocks forever. She has a special box with them but one in particular was on a desk because it was too big for the box. A week before she had almost dropped it on her foot and cried after her dad yelled about it almost breaking her foot. Handsome took the rock and placed it on the table outside and I had been looking at it for a week wondering what to do with it. As I drank my coffee I turned it around and around. Was it a dinosaur head? Was it a car? Nope, I saw it was a house so I started sketching a basic front leaving the walkway as the rock. We picked out a few colors and Goddess got to work.

Painting a rock was way easier then sketching on it with pencil. I broke three trying to draw lines for her to paint inside.

Goddess painted the bigger pieces and I added the little details. I love this shot of her concentrating.

Here it is all ready for details but now we weren't sure about the color of the roof. The harder part was trying not to go overboard with window boxes and such. This was our first and we are not artists but I love the grass area.

So cute right?!

Next I added a stand by taking a piece of styrofoam, cutting a small slice in it that fit the rock and painted it brown.

Goddess painted this little round rock and I added the face and little highlights. He looks so cute.

RoseArt Color Blanks Have Changed My Craft Challeged Son!

RoseArt is a favorite in my house. Goddess loves doing crafts as she is highly creative, thinking outside the box to create art using all kinds of media. Handsome on the other hand is never interested in sitting down to craft. He has trouble drawing and writing and has been in therapy for low muscle tone in his hands since he is two. Which is why I am so happy to review to write this review.

When products come in for review it is easy to choose which child to use for the review because Goddess loves everything and Handsome is very particular. So on most unisex products Goddess is the easy choice. The RoseArt Color Blanks review was hard because BOTH wanted to review it. Two kids, one product...how could I do it? Goddess was taking a bath and Handsome asked again so I figured why not, he is going to start it and stop two seconds in. He is never into arts and crafts and Goddess can finish it when she comes out of the bath.

Well, I was wrong. Handsome loves Color Blanks and spent over 20 minutes creating "Pete" and eventually "Bill" as he is now affectionately called.

His concentration was 100%! He was in the zone and I was thrilled to see him concentrating on something other than a video game.

The Color Blanks come in 1, 2 and 4 packs and are great gifts for every occasion.
