It's been pinned, and I've received emails about it. Funny how something so simple speaks to us. I used the transfer method on my sidebar after rubbing the surface with a little gesso. That's it.
That wasn't the only one I made, and I kept it. I also did something similar to a broken piece of marble.
I used an Eiffel Tower image.
Like I said, it was a broken piece of marble. I have quite a few pieces like this. Even broken, they have great charm, and I can't toss them.
Now it sits with another little rock, and my chippy lavender filled urn.
Going to play with more rocks, and work on some furniture. See ya soon.

I love these Rosemary! What a great idea! I need to go scavenge some broken marble...Thanks for sharing!!

You play with rocks so well Rosemary! Love them!
Who could imagine such adorable pieces of art from rocks, lol. Really nice.
You ROCK the rocks Rosemary.
This really is so simple yet so pretty, Rosemary! What a great classroom project! I, too, need to find some "good rocks"! Thanks for the inspiration!"

GREAT IDEA! And so easy! Thanks for stopping over and leaving me such a sweet comment on my tea towels. I'll be following. :)
they are very neat I've never seen anyone else do them etsy has a lot of crochet covered rocks (?) but these are so much more elegant
My goodness, rosemary! You're a genius! The smooth pebble with the lady is so lovely. Simple and clever and lovely.
Hey Rosemary I posted my bathroom with your towel rack in it..I know you don't follow me but come by and check it out..Thanks again my dear friend..Hugs and smiles Gloria
Gosh Rosemary,
You remind me of me!! I can't hardly throw the bits and pieces of anything away. If I order something that has a pretty ribbon on it I recycle it or if I find a pretty card I am always thinking of what I can do with it.
Somethings are just to good to toss!!! Great idea on the marble!
The marble and the rock are both delightful! :)
As long as you don't throw them, Rosemary! : ) I love that image ~ it is so soft and romantic looking. I thought of you today while out at an antique mall. I came across two small frames similar to those you find {and that I got in your giveaway} but they had pictures on them already. I wondered, if you paint that, can you then transfer another image on the piece? If so, I might have to look for them my next time there and pick them up.
I love them both Rosemary! Will you be selling that lady rock perchance? Put me on the list of peeps who want one OK? *winks* FAA! Vanna
Those are so pretty. I have got to try doing some transfers.
I LOVE these!
I am always thinking of new ways to use and re-use things. I did something very similar with broken tiles.
Thanks for inspiring us!

These are really great. I can see why they were noticed.
Love it Rosemary!! Pinning <3
Once again, you amaze me with your creative genius, Rosemary! :)

I have to say I would have never thought about that!
Oh Rosemary you do have the gift of turning something so simple into a piece of art and beauty. Thanks for inspiring me.

Hello Rosemary,
I love your romantic rocks! As a rock collector, you have certainly given me some new ideas for the rocks that won't be going in my display. Love your ideas! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Your rocks rock! Have you ever used the citrasolve transfer method? If so, how does that compare to the pen?
Hi, Rosemary. These projects are beautiful. I especially love your lady portraits. They are stunningly romantic!
Oh my goodness these are soooo cute! Good for you and thanks for sharing!

These are beautiful! I have, er HAD a nice bag of flat stones waiting for a few projects. I think DH filed them. Dang... they would be perfect for this. Really, really cool. :)
Just beautiful!!
They look great.
I've been working on rocks all weekend (before I seen this post) amazing how all us crafters think up some of the same stuff. And here I thought I was original :0) My aren't like yours, btw yours are beautiful. I'll be posting mine later this week.
This is so pretty! I would like to invite you to enter my Giveaway. I am celebrating my blog's third birthday. See you there :-)
