    @Valley Gardener, I always love your work with stones/pebbles and artwork and even tried myself ( but unsuccessfully) a while back.   One of my attempts was just covered in different dots and I put that in the border in the garden. Even now, I still get a surprise when I see it poking out from underneath some plants😲🙂. I suspect I should lift it out but it's quite bedded in now. Equally, I might get a shock/surprise if I had a cats eyes stone put in the borders too.🙂
    I really love the colour of your paw prints stones and the writing. Very professional and beautifully done. Well done.

    The cats' backsides really made me laugh.  Not quite sure what that says about me 😁
  • Thankyou so much for the lovely comments ladies.
    I will be painted out at the end of this marathon.
    I used to work in a display studio for a big department store in Bournemouth,now sadly closed.I was trained as a signwriter and learned a lot there,it's such a relaxing hobby now. Sign writing used to all be done by hand in those days,but now replaced by plastic.
    I finally treated myself to a turn table which makes life easier with the pebbles.
    I would encourage anyone to try it,a simple design in acrylic,then varnished.
    Well done @Songbird-2 As long as they are double varnished they should last outside for a long time.
    I've put a few in my garden, little sayings etc.
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
