Astoria Rocks

Astoria Rocks is a thing around here - there's even a Facebook page devoted to these decorated pieces of stone. I painted my first rock today.

A friend recently lost her dog, Bear. She has asked friends to paint rocks in honor of Bear. So here's my first rock painting attempt, with my own twist:

Gesso layer

 

Printed a photo of Bear on Artist Transfer Paper, then ironed to fabric 

 

Adhered the fabric to the rock with heavy gel medium
