Two Painted Rocksby *DonSimpson

Artisan Crafts / Other

A couple of river stones with a nice toothy texture "painted" with Prismacolor pencils. The small one is about an inch across. I've shown both sides of both stones; they don't have an official front and back.

I use dichroic in some of my pieces, but colored pencil can be amazing. I just found out last week about Deb Karash, who does silver jewelry with copper inlays that she colores with colored pencils! Take a look:

And she's not the only one....

Wow, what a simple process! very beautiful! love them both!

*DonSimpson Feb 13, 2007

Yes, I think this is a very underappreciated medium. I'm glad you like these pieces.

~CherKoowho Feb 13, 2007

It certainly is under appreciated...so much so it never occurred to me to try that out! You do it very well!

These would look absolutely awesome if they were somehow drilled to be worn as pendants.
Which is not so say they don't look awesome to begin with, but I think it'd be a more effective way of showing them off (and they SHOULD be shown off)...

*DonSimpson Feb 11, 2007

Well, I agree. But I'm not sure how well Prismacolor would take to being worn as a pendant. I should do some experiments on that.

i'd try to seal it with something? like a spray on lacquer or finishing varnish, shouldn't effect the pencil crayons... and would make it waterproof and anti-scratchy... drilling though my be a problem, depending on the type of stone its likely to shatter or crack, but good luck with it, and keep it up
