Artful Gifts

This "Artful Gifts" sign was made with driftwood  and beach pebbles. Some of the driftwood pieces have been painted to create the little house, roof, door, and the front steps to the doorway. Pebbles were used for  pathway to the house and a small rock painted yellow for the sun. This sign hangs at the door of The Crystal Pinecone Gift Shoppe.

Rock Painted Rocks

This gathering of hand painted rocks were done by artist, Dorothy Woropay. All the rocks were collected on rock excursions and then Dorothy  did her magic with a artist brush. I will post different examples of more of these hand painted rocks again.
