I’m baaaaack :)

by RaShell on 2008-05-27

Feel free to say you’ve missed me ;) Mexico is truly a doodler’s paradise. Just one look around and you are inspired:

I was definitely not wasting any time over there… by the pool… in the sand… under the palm-tree-branch-covered palapas and near the bright blue ocean! Since keeping paper sand-free and most importantly - dry was a bit of a challenge, I switched to the only other medium easily available right underfoot. Ocean-washed and smoothed flat rocks of different colors and proportions. Have a look-see:

    Oh I love your little rock doodles! I bet those are a great souviner; perfect for a little color out in the garden. You did bring them home with you, right?

    What did you use to draw on the rocks without the ink smearing?

    Hi LaurenMarie,

    Thanks. Of course I brought them all back (probably 10 lbs of them ;)) We gave them out as souvenirs to my girls’ teachers and neighbors. I used one of my many-many black art markers (I suspect it was one of the Pilots, with a tiny marker-like tip). The stones were not THAT polished, they were just smooth enough to draw an them, but didn’t smear at all :) Oh, and I colored them with gold and silver paint markers. You should try, they were fun both to look for and make.

    LeO,

    You didn’t miss me enough to post something in my absence :-p Shame on you. We had such a great time though, that I can’t stay mad at anybody :)

    Hi Claire,

    So much for “making a fortune on Ebay” (see above ;))
    Sure, I’d send one, if nothing else, purely because it’s kinda crazy/silly/cool to send Mexican rocks from US to UK :)

    Rock doodling is a great hobby to do even at home in the states.
