Painted Daisy Fairy Rock
From the blogger: "This is a tutorial on how to transfer an image to a rock and paint it to create a beautiful piece of art to be enjoyed, given as a gift, or sold at a craft show or on an online shop. Rock painting is a wonderful hobby that can be enjoyed individually or by the whole family. It's a fun and inexpensive pastime and also makes a great activity for a child's birthday party. Of course, for children the rocks they will paint will be much simpler than the one in this tutorial. Check the links in the blog post for instructional books on painting rocks. There are many for all different levels of skill, including many for kids."
