Pretty Yard Art With Liquid Chalk Markers

A pretty surprise for your garden or potted plants. Make with smooth river stones and liquid chalk markers!
I currently live in Maine. It is unofficially the land of fun shaped rocks. I find myself collecting them in buckets and baskets and leaving them about the RV, taking up room that we really don’t have.
Begin by painting all of your rocks with the black acrylic paint. Granted, you can leave the rocks their original color, but I went with black for a great contrast with the liquid chalk markers.
Then start drawing away! Naturally, I went with paisley. Seems that I have a thing for both rocks and paisley.
I used florescent liquid chalk markers and the bright colors look amazing against the black.

This is also great for find a rock. Place randomly your local city and some will find them. Post on your social network!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How can I get my hands on some of these river rocks to paint? Have not found a resource anywhere! Have been looking for years!
What are liquid chalk markers? Thanks for sharing
Great idea! Do you seal the rocks with something after you're done decorating with the chalk markers? The chalk markers I have will erase and wash off like chalk does.
