I’d never heard of decorative rock painting. Seriously! Then a 2016 trip to visit family in Germany brought it into my life. The kids were mass producing painted rocks and the paint they used had dimension.

It’s surprising how many smiles painted rocks elicit! Give painting rocks a go sometime . . . you might enjoy it, too.
