HAND PAINTED CHOPSTICKS AND HOLDER

HAND PAINTED CHOPSTICKS AND HOLDER:

Hand painted rocks are my favourite craft. They are so simple and easy. My mother probably does not appreciate the number of pebbles I have removed from the garden to paint - but it's okay, I will be putting most of them back in the garden once I have painted and waterproofed them!! 

As this pebble was a perfect chopstick holder shape, it was sadly not returned to the garden, although it was definitely put to good use! 

I first painted black outlines of branches and then once dry added flowers using gold, yellow and red acrylic. To seal the paint (making it waterproof), I used Mod Podge, which leaves a lovely gloss!!
