The Creston Valley Seniors Association is hosting a rock-painting class on March 9, 2019, from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., and you're invited (as long as you're over 21). And since I'm going to be facilitating it, you know we'll have a blast.
Clean rocks, paints, brushes and whatever else catches my eye from the studio will be provided. To register, please contact Marg Popovich at 250-402-6639. Preregistration is required.
Although I've been away this week, I've managed to squeeze in some samples just for fun. Because some of these painting 'newbies' will not have used a brush before, I've kept the designs simple for their first go 'round. I expect they'll get hooked and be perusing Pinterest for greater and grander ideas when next they meet!
Don't know how this got in there - that doesn't look like paint at all. Trust a mixed media artist to go astray.
It looks like it will be a fun class Win - especially with you in the lead. I have done rocks before but prefer a surface that doesn't weigh so much - lol. - Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val - you know we'll have a rock-ton of fun! :D
DeleteAdorable! What a great idea, Win! Kisses, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to this one, Mia - way fun!
DeleteOh, how I wish I could rock in Preston, too! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun and there will be a rainbow of rocks at the end, each one unique.
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome if you could be here, Tracy - wouldn't we have a riot?! :D
DeleteOh, and that should be Creston, obviously!
DeleteCreston or Preston, it's a long way from where you are. :D
DeleteA new medium to print on!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Eileen - I love it how creativity feeds creativity!
DeleteOh Win, so wish I could be there. Rock painting is one of my favourite crafts. I'm putting you a link to my dragon eyes here just in case they fancy doing one of these. https://angelacuttingandcarving.blogspot.com/2018/08/woyww-481-whats-on-your-workdesk.html Happy creative week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteAngela, that would be a blast - thanks for putting your dragons' eyes link here - that was a super project!
DeleteI love those rocks and it remind me of my days as a young girl as I made figures with rocks. And ten years ago I stamped on rocks with sentiment stapms to give them as a present to people. I should make some art with rocks again , you inspire me! Your workshop will be a blast for sure and I would join in if it were possible for me.
ReplyDeleteHave fun and please take as much photos as possible - I always LOVE to be chairwise with you at this events!
Happy new week ahead my friend!
Hugs, Susi
Thanks, Susi - I love the thought of mini-you making figures with rocks. The Inukshuks we see across the country would be similar, I suspect. I will definitely take photos - this is going to be a fun time!
DeleteThese are really nice! I've always wanted to try rock painting and then leaving the rocks for people to find. Fun :)
ReplyDeleteI suspect we'll have a lot of fun, Sal - and I'll most definitely leave these ones to be found after the workshop. Found art is a favourite thing of mine to do!
DeleteI am laughing because I always thought I was the only rockmiester around. I used to use rock painting as a fun craft for all my kids craft groups and girls camp crafts. My favorite were prayer rocks that were beautifully painted and "Don't forget your prayers" written on the bottom, they even had a little poem that went with them to tell you to put the rock on your pillow so it would remind you to say your prayers each night. So ROCK ON my sister in rock art.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me laugh, Deann - I swear we're the Bobbsey Twins (and both old enough to remember who the heck THEY are!). Love your idea about prayer rocks!
DeleteThese look fabulous, Win! Rock paining is so much fun - adding die-cuts is a good idea - will remember that! I'm sure the participants will have a wonderful time - keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Zsuzsa - I'm looking forward to this class. One of my favourite things to do is to rekindle old pleasures, and many seniors haven't played with paints in decades. What could be more fun?!!!
DeleteThese are fun! You gals have way too much fun and I envy your time spent among these creatives!Sending warm hugs and wishes for spring to arrive soon! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jackie, that there's a ton of fun (and rocks, too!) to be had in this valley. It's a great place filled with adventurously arty people - what more could one want?! ;-)
