I'm thinking it might be fun to paint some rocks with this stuff. Hilarious!

No, I thought the rocks were going to look so cool along the edge of the walkway. They're smooth river rocks. maybe they were too porous. I still have the paint, but the thrill is gone! Whistling

I wonder if you put a couple of coats of white paint to seal the rocks and then use the glow paint on top of that.

I believe that small jar of paint was about $10. I probably won't repeat the project. Too many other "irons in the fire" from that darn Pinterest!

I just went out and snapped a bad picture in flash of that last project so those interested can see the in-between eras in development. I have to many projects and now the gardens need me back with Spring coming on................... Sighing! Lovey dubby

Anyways, This sculpture has its many coats of primer and basic shading done with spray paint. The hand painting comes later. Today I finally got around to pouring the concrete in one of my pots for it and it will be set by tomorrow. Then I can start the handpainting..........fun but tedious this one will be..... Smiling

Its fun sharing Dirt. I wish I could just center my focus on any one project, and now that the gardens are budding out and will be getting back to working with others in their gardens again;... am hoping not to lose my non-living items art time!... Smiling

This is something I had in the bunker that I had all but ignored, and chose to replay and refurbish. I think that its still kind of gardenesque-ish art.....but figured those looking here would find it fun. I just need to put an Aluminum fantasy flower on top! Hilarious!
