I paint rocks and leave them for people to find. Maybe I'll post other things sometimes.

Mostly rocks @pscindy.bsky.social · May 27
Now that I have it all broken down into steps, I'm realizing that by time spent, my main hobby is literally watching paint dry
The rock is flat on the bottom with a rounded top & it's approx 1.5" in diameter. The background is a purpleish watercolor and covered with simple blue swirls and some multicolored dots. It was a very easy pattern but I like the result. *** I put off posting all weekend because I was sure that once I got really *into* #alttext mode, I wasn't going to be able to stop. It's probably time for a different pinned post anyway, so why not make this the one where I explain my process, in far too much detail: The thing is, I always need rocks that are ready to go for paint pen fun times. To make that happen, I need about 100 other things to have happened first. If the supply chain ever breaks down, I'll have no choice but to change my name & start a new life because I won't even know who I am anymore. 1. Get rocks. This usually involves going to a landscaping company with a bucket. I filled my bucket & they charge me by the pound. 2. Wash the rocks. Hot soapy water and a scrub brush. Let the rocks dry thoroughly. 3. White paint. Dry. 4. Watercolors! Dry. 5. Waterproof sealant. Dry. 6. Tattoos, sometimes. If tattoo, then reseal & dry. 7. Paint pens!! 8. Final sealant, dry 9. Photos, posts, adulation, etc. Every drying step is at least a week, but the longer the better. I like to leave 2-3 weeks minimum after watercolors, or the colors will smear when I try to use the sealant. Right now I have enough rocks at step 7 to last maybe 2-3 more months, which means it's time to get the ones currently at step 3 moving forward, so they can be watercolored and dried and sealed (and some tattooed and resealed) and ready for paint pens when I need them. I love the look of a big pile of watercolored rocks. Maybe I'll post a pic later today when I finally have that again.

Dragons can look like camels sometimes. Prove me wrong.
We're going to start with the back of the rock today. You can tell because the quarter is tails-side-up. The rock is approx 1x2" and slightly too flat to be an egg shape. I started by drawing tiny black circles that then turned into overlapping scales. Most of the scales are varying blues and greens, but there's some red and yellow too. This rock sat on my table like this for weeks. I knew it wasn't done, but I didn't know what was supposed to happen next. Then I remembered seeing other people's rocks turned into creatures hatching out of cracked eggs. If this was an egg, it was probably a dragon egg. Could I draw a dragon? ---> <--- The answer turned out to be a definite "maybe." You know, depending on how strictly you're classifying what dragons look like. There's a jagged black star on this side, with some thicker lines extending off the outer angles. There's a magenta creature head, front-facing, just sort of suspended in the void. (Huh. Maybe it would have been better if I added a neck? Nope too late the photo is posted & we're moving on.) The head has a snout and an open mouth, large round eyes, and a tuft of spiky hair. My best guess is that it looks kind of like a camel? Are those camel ears? Frankly, I don't want to know what camel ears look like and you can't make me find out. The thing is though, I'm pretty sure camels don't hatch out of eggs. Ergo, it's a dragon. Yes, a dragon. Of course. There was never any doubt. All those other alleged dragons you may have seen, that looked nothing at all like this? Well I guess they might also have been dragons. I think I'm demonstrably not a dracologist here.

Yaay flannel szn
A selfie of a woman with a blue and grey flannel. Her phone is blocking most of her face, but she has glasses and shoulder length blondish** hair. She also has a grey tshirt with a cat wearing earphones and sitting behind a DJ setup. ** I have never been able to satisfactorily describe my hair color. Light brown? Wheat, maybe? Just don't call it dishwater blonde, I hate that.

Post something random or else
A group of skeletons are sitting in lawn chairs in a circle. They are all wearing wigs and clothes. Behind them is a stage with maybe 30 other skeletons, some full size & some kid sized. Some of the skeletons onstage have instruments. My friend & I found this on a road trip, somewhere between Madison and Cedarburg. Her GPS took us off the interstate for reasons known only to itself, but when we passed this, we were forever grateful. This is my friend who will always know what Red Dwarf quote is most relevant to any situation. She said the ones in the chairs reminded her of Kryten's crewmates from that one episode. Also, please understand that I'm not personally telling you to "post or else." I hate that. No one needs that kind of pressure. But, you know, if you have something fun to share and you enjoy quote post chains, go for it.

Before & after
The rock is green watercolor. There's clearly a tattoo there, but it could be just about anything. Sometimes the tattoos I use end up not showing up particularly well on a watercolor background & sometimes the tattoo itself is just odd. My best guess is that it's supposed to be a fawn, but its neck is twisted around so that the fawn is now looking back over its shoulder? The same rock, but better. I made the legs wider and completely redid the head. The new creature is outlined in turquoise blue, mostly pale peach but with orange streaks. The head is facing forward, with a large spiky face and pointy ears. It has round eyes and a large oval nose, which is light blue.

She's so good at hiding
Olly, a very silly brown and white cat, is lying on the floor. Her head is behind the corner of a blanket hanging off the edge of my bed. I don't want to tell her, but her entire body is in plain sight.

I like how it's maybe not immediately obvious that this is another D6
Oh who am I even kidding. From this angle it's not even immediately obvious that this alleged cube even has six sides. Based solely on this photo, all one can confidently say is that there's some sort of indeterminate concentric pattern in purple blue orange green. The 1st comment will be a video. Each individual side has a thin purple number, outlined in repeated colors until the edges meet the edges of the numbers on the adjacent sides. Another angle. Now that you know what you're looking at, it's easier to see that this is a 2, on its side

I'm trying to find a book that I'm 95% sure I own. My library is a chaotic mess. If I start posting photos of random shelves, would it be fun for you to try and find it for me?

I called the jerk store and you answered the phone! Because the jerk store closed down and became a vape store, and you’re the new manager. It was really nice to hear you’re doing better, it sounds like you’re in a much better place these days. I hope you and Brenda work it out. Love ya, brother.
