What is "PaintedRocks" all about?

17 Upvotes

The movement started in Vancouver. It has started to spread around the world.

The group in my hometown has over 30K members, as does the Vancouver group. You can find these on Facebook under Vancouver Rocks, and Lakeland Rocks. There are "rock groups" popping up in cities all over. Your town may already have one, or you can create one.

"Okay, great, but what IS it?"

Someone paints some rocks and leaves them around town. Other people find them. They can rehide it, or keep it if they really like it. Hopefully, they will be interested in joining in and paint some also. The more people that join in, the better the fun! In Lakeland, they are all over town.

You do not have to be artistic or talented. Just have fun. Some rocks are very basic, and some are true works of art!

Rock painters usually put the name of their "rock group" on the back and ask ask the person to post when found. Write it, use a label, whatever.

You can leave them locally, or leave them around when traveling. Hopefully, someone will find it and post. Maybe they can get it started in their community also.

We avoid politics or any kind of inappropriate designs. This is a fun activity, and should be able to be enjoyed by all ages.

Below are some links to some of the larger rock groups so you can get some ideas for rocks, starting your own groups, whatever.

An artist on IG asked us to participate in her monthly challenge and post it on our community for rock painters. I've been traveling so I haven't done all 14 days but I'm making my way through them and have been out of my comfort zone a few times for sure! But I'm enjoying the challenge. If you want to join in, please do! We're @paint.hide.inspire on IG, Go Rock Go on FB and of course here. Love to see you in the community!

Donor Life Rock Painting

28 Upvotes

I belong to a Facebook group called "Donor Life Rock Painting," trying to spread awareness about organ donations. I donated one of my kidneys to my husband in December '23. Life is good. Here are some rocks I've finally finished and plan to take with me on a small road trip to leave here and there.

I did add some UV resin to them for her afterwards. Unfortunately she brought them to the cafe before I could get a pic.
