Instructions
- I have really enjoyed painting milk bottles and rock stones. I am loving it so much that I am hoping to paint more stones and share them each week here on the blog.
- So today I am sharing my peacock rock stone which turned out pretty cool. I'm not sure what it is about drawing and painting but it helps me to relax and not feel as sad.
- Every time I miss my parents and feel really down I draw. I've found it really hard to write. When I am unwell I can write but when I just feel sad and miss my family I draw and paint and it really does help.
- I honestly did not think I could make something like this. I did not know it was in me but I did it and am super pleased.
- I've discovered something which helps me when I feel sad. It helps me to feel happy again and is quite therapeutic. I have a goal to save up and visit my parents in New Zealand. It is quite expensive and so will take a long time to save, especially with the ongoing medical costs I have.
- So I have a plan, I am going to try to make and sell some rock stones and save to visit my family. Then whenever I feel sad and miss my Mum and Dad I can go paint a rock and know I'm doing something to help reach my goal of seeing them again.
- I have discovered something I love and have even made a new category on the blog specifically for Rock Painting. I am excited and need to look into how I can sell these stones I paint. I am thinking of getting Modge Podge to seal them. I have a lot to learn but am excited. I also plan to make story stones too.
