Happy Friday Creative Friends,
It's challenge time over on the Paperbabe Stamps Blog
this fortnight it's *Anything Goes* so come share your
crafty makes with us over HERE...
Here's what I got up to..
I'm very lucky that my Mother in Law's Garden is full of
flat rocks and pebbles. When I recently came across this
one it's shape really reminded me of a head.
Inspired by my blogging Rock Painting Friends
I'm sharing a painted rock of my very own today.
First adding a coat of gesso I stamped the closed eye
face stamp from the Paperbabe female dinky face set
onto the flat surface delicately painting with acrylics.
I stamped the Paperbabe hand under her chin by placing the
dinky hand stamp onto the end of my finger, this made it much
easier to get an impression around the curved edges as I could
manipulated the stamp around the curves, repeating the process
with flowers taken from the Flourishing Hair stamp set.
Painting those stamped outlines I added the detail,
coating the finished rock with satin varnish..
I love how peaceful she looks,
each time I look at her I wonder what she see's
behind those closed eyes dreaming of beautiful things...
each time I look at her I wonder what she see's
behind those closed eyes dreaming of beautiful things...
Come see what the team have created over HERE
and join in with our Anything Goes Paperbabe Challenge.
I look forward to seeing what delights you have for our eyes.
Creative Hugs

Love your beautiful, painted rock, Tracey. She really looks so peaceful and serene, well done. Great idea. Have a wonderful weekend, hugs, Valerie
This brought back such happy memories - I used to love painting stones on childhood holidays. The serene face in the midst of all those flowers is absolutely charming - and I can just imagine how lovely it must feel in your hand too.

Your work is fantastic. I keep thinking I want to try this but couldn't compare to what you have done here.

Happy Weekend, Elke
Lovely! i also did a girl among flowers today. Have a nice weekend Tracey
much love...
Beautiful work on the rock!
This is so pretty, lovely.
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog. We have some things in common, being creative with numerous media. My hands have rebelled against some of those things now so I am focused on painting. So taken with your painted rocks, and working in small detail is always relaxing.
What an amazing project! I love the tranquility and beauty that you have created, it looks so amazing 😁. Thanks so much for your comments on my blog, I was delighted to have won and with all the new PB releases its going to be difficult to chose my prize ...lol 😉. I hope you've had a lovely week and wishing you a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Jo x
It’s fabulous
Absolutely incredible, Tracey. You do SO well with those Paperbabe stamps and this rock is just one more example of how you can create incredible art using any substrate. Most impressive art and it looks like a fun idea for Rain's Art Date, too.
So cool! I love seeing your process pics, too! What a beautiful creation you have made!
I do like a good painted rock. Yes, she is so peaceful and beautiful. A spirit for a natural piece of earth.
Tracey she is so beautiful!! A true nature goddess dreaming of spring. Love her. Happy PPF!
Wow that looks great. You did such an amazing job with this project.
So different.
Thank you for sharing with us over at Morgan's Artworld. We hope to see you again.

Hi Tracey! :) Your rock gal is SO beautiful! I LOVE the colours, her eyes...I'm sure she sees peace in nature! :) Thanks for taking us through the steps on how you made it, it's perfect for the theme!!! I'm so happy you joined in!! :) Such talent! :) I have to get me some stamps one of these days, I love the effect!!! You are very creative. :)
She certainly does look serene and you have surrounded her with such beautiful dainty flowers. The stamps are beautiful but you really do bring them to life with your wonderful painting! Hope you have had a good weekend and best wishes for the coming week. Hugs, Anne xxx
wow, you created a very beautiful woman on that pebble :)
Dear Tracey, what a lovely, and beautiful idea, of painting the stone - she is beautiful resting a bit there, among the flowers,- I`m sure she have peaceful and happy thoughts . So amazingly painted, as always, but on a stone it is even more to admire!!
Sending you big hugs and wishes all is well , dear friend. xoxoxoxoxo
I used to paint rocks with my granddaughter when she was younger, but nothing as beautiful as you have accomplished here. It is something to behold (or see, in keeping with Rain's prompt). I hope you will come again to Rain's so we can all appreciate your talents.
