For the Love of Nature: Decorative Stones

Sharpie Decorated Stones

Nature always inspires me so I'm happy when I can create something using nature itself! And when it comes to stones.... I have plenty in my back yard......too many, in fact.  So if you want some, come on over!

Sharpie Decorated Stones

These hand drawn designs were made with a sharpie and were inspired by these owl pebbles.

I love them all, but I think the butterflies are my favorites.  I have plans for many more decorative stones.... birds, bugs, and even sea creatures!  I can't wait to get crackin'!

    Your stones are so beautiful. I've crocheted covers for lots of stone and like the way they look gathered in a basket. :) Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy

    You're so talented! These are simple, but so pretty. I'd say, think of a way to use a group of them together, maybe some decorated, some plain. Then sell them!

    Your stones are so pretty! I don't think my drawing talent is good enough for them to look anything like yours, but these are really cool!

    Fabulous idea!
    Did you paint the stones first, or is that their natural colour? They look so pretty grouped in that bowl :)

    Elise,
    These look amazing! I would love to have some of your rocks, but I'll take the pre-decorated ones please :)
    Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you share next week. Have a great weekend.

    These are beautiful. Did you have to use sealant so they didn't rub off?

      Thank you! I did put a light coat of modge podge on these. I don't know if sharpie would rub off, but I like how the modge podge gives them a little shine.
