Garden Ideas - The Pebble Project

This weekend after several busy ones before, was a relaxed one ... spirited and gastronomically-stimulating too! Entertained a few visitors, went plant shopping at a horticultural society and celebrated our second wedding anniversary!

Also did some pebble painting as the title indicates. One each to give company to a Buddha, a bead-eyed frog and a turtle. Took out my fabric paints and brushes and spent 10-15 min on each, come have a look at the outcomes.

Buddha plans to sit on it and meditate

A few villagers posing with the painted rock


Green and white's company for the frog!


Heard the story of Lotus and the Blue Turtle? ;)


And all three products from the day's fun project, basking in the sunshine

On another note, pls do check out this cool article on 27 magical secret gardens by team 'Planted Well'... I for one have bookmarked it for use when I have my own lil independent home.

Sharing this 'craft'iness at some very cool blog parties - weekend wrap-up at Colours DekorPolly Want a Crafter, Mad in Crafts, Craftomaniac and Girl Creative.
Let a great week begin!

  2. Interesting work ... I should share the post with my niece - she loves to paint on objects vs paper.

    Cheers,

  16. Thank you all for the comments! I'm mighty pleased :P

    @Ankush, the Buddha is from a tiny store in Puttaparthi, and the frog from Mother Earth in Bangalore.
