[@tanabennett831]

I’m always curious as to why you use a dotting tools to apply the glitter? Love the rocks 🥰

[@JessicaRocks]

I think it's because I feel like I can get more on there, especially when it's chunky glitter... and it doesn't gunk up a brush that way!

[@GeologyDude]

These are very nice and cute videos. I appreciate what you are doing here. I understand the value of making painted rocks, and also the kind attitude of leaving them in places where others may get a pleasant surprise (when unexpectedly coming upon the rock--such as on a walking trail in a neighborhood). Perhaps you can discuss a topic in a future video about where not to put these painted rocks. I feel that city parks, playgrounds, and other neighborhood places, are fine places to leave these rocks. However, I feel that these rocks do not belong in protected natural areas--like national parks, state parks, and other wilderness/wildlife areas (where I have found them occasionally). Although the rocks are cute and are placed with well-meaning intentions, the painted rocks spoil the places where people want to experience unspoiled natural surroundings. Although the painted rocks are small, and are easily removed, they hurt the experience of nature if found in these protected areas. I feel that they appear like unwanted graffiti or litter, in these natural areas. Thanks!

[@JessicaRocks]

That actually is on my list, and I think you just gave me a kick in the pants to get the video made! 😊 The general "rule of thumb" is to leave no trace, and specifically not to leave them in national parks or protected areas. Unfortunately, when something grows like rock painting has, the bad apples surface...and there are some people that genuinely just don't know or realize. I appreciate so much that you reached out kindly and with information, rather than attacking. I help admin 2 local rock groups and as admins, we have been subject to some nasty private messages, some even threatening, about this very issue, even though we are constantly reminding people of the guidelines. It came up in a city near me about even leaving them at parks and was a pretty heated issue, but it was really nice to see that both sides came to an agreement to designate specific areas in the park where the rocks could be left and taken! 😊

[@GeologyDude]

@@JessicaRocks Thanks for planning to do this issue in the future. I agree that these rocks are left with the best intentions, but there are definitely places where it is inappropriate-despite the intentions. Mostly, these folks just don’t understand, but like many things, some people get upset when told that certain conduct is not allowed in specific areas. Obviously, seeing these things in protected areas really irritates me. But they are cute and rather sweet when in common public areas. Thanks again!

[@fidocanfetch]

These are great! Do you make your own rocks?

[@JessicaRocks]

I do make my own rocks sometimes, but these are Mexican Beach pebbles that I got from Home Depot...they are so super smooth!

Can you reference a video where you apply the resin? Also, do you have “lettering” tips for people with less than steady hands?

[@JessicaRocks]

Yes of course! Here is the one about resin and I'll be right back with a lettering one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJCwYWyFisyNm5o

Never heard of acrylic undercoat before.....does it help smoth out the rock or adhere the paint better?

[@JessicaRocks]

I would say it helps with both, but moreso for adhering the paint and creating a nice base coat for the colors to be solid and bright! 🙂

Couldn't find the book on letter writing you were talking about can you give it to me here?

KZbin has changed the path to the video descriptions enough that it even causes me pause! Here's the affiliate link: Modern Calligraphy and Hand Lettering for Beginners Workbook: amzn.to/3sljEbv Happy Painting!

Loved your video. What is the brand name of the markers you used?

[@JessicaRocks]

Thank you so much! 🙂 The markers for the writing are Tooli Art Acrylic Paint Pens (amzn.to/37RZKNx) and the paint pen I used to add the "swirly" petals to the flowers is a Sakura Pigma Fine Brush Pen (amzn.to/2Mc0HIN).

[@listeningwatching]

I thought they were black gesso....i use sometimes. ❤

[@JessicaRocks]

I have considered buying some of that for black backgrounds myself!

[@Happyliving757]

Plz do a video or link me the waterproof outdoor rock 🎨 paints thank you

[@JessicaRocks]

I don't use waterproof paints, but I do seal with Art Resin or UV Resin that you can find here: Art Resin amzn.to/3siKErM Mr. Resin UV Resing Starter Kit: amzn.to/3yxFzzh Or you can use a waterproof spray clear coat that you can find in thr paint aisle of Walmart or a hardware store!

[@Happyliving757]

@@JessicaRocks so first paint and then spray with it ?

[@JessicaRocks]

@@Happyliving757 yes after all the paint is fully dry. Spray sealer takes about 20-30 minutes to fully dry, so one side at a time!

The rocks in this particular video are Mexican Beach Pebbles I got from Home Depot (online). I am going to have a video really soon about rocks from Home Depot!

[@deannturner4910]

That would be a great video to watch.

@@deannturner4910 keep your eyes peeled! I'm hoping to release it by the weekend!

[@tehrimalvi3733]

1st step u applied white some thing what is this???

[@JessicaRocks]

It's gesso! It's great for base coating, especially on super smooth rocks ot when you need to use light colors. This is the go to brand I use now: Liquitex White Gesso amzn.to/2PmSfaA

[@stacyedmonds4006]

What is Jesso ? Name of a color

[@JessicaRocks]

It's sort of a primer very similar to a white chalk paint. It helps in not needing many coats of color for coverage and also helps give grip on these really smooth stones.
