Would you like to know what happens to a painted rock after you leave it?

Hi everyone!

One of the things I love most about painted rocks is leaving a little piece of art somewhere for a stranger to find.

But I’ve always wondered: what happens to the rock afterwards? Who finds it? Does it move somewhere else?

We’ve been working on a project called MYSTONE UNIVERSE around this idea — a community where painted rocks can be placed on a world map, discovered by other people and hopefully continue their journey.

The idea isn’t about selling rocks at all. It’s about keeping the spirit of painting, hiding, finding and sharing little acts of kindness alive.

I’d really love to hear from people who already participate in painted-rock hiding:

Would you like to be able to see if someone found one of your rocks and where it travelled next? 🪨❤️

Assortment of rocks ft. Mr Blobby

Do any people outside of the UK know the legend that is Mr Blobby? He was a birthday gift for my best friend. Sadly he got abit smudged once I applied top coat coz I was impatient but honestly I feel like it adds to his chaotic, unhinged energy.

New to rock painting, my progress so far :)

This is so much better than doom scrolling!

Mud Kitchen

Was asked to paint some rocks for a little boys mud kitchen. Had really never heard of such a thing but here they are with a couple of bonus rocks for the little boy. It was fun just hard deciding what to paint. Each have something cute, positive or inspirational written on the back.

Does anyone here paint kindness rocks?

Does anyone here paint kindness rocks to give to nursing homes, children’s hospitals, cancer centers, or other places where someone might need a little encouragement? ❤️
I also love painting them and leaving them around the community for strangers to find. There’s something special about knowing that a small painted rock with a kind message might brighten someone’s day when they need it most.
I’d love to hear where you leave or donate yours and what kinds of messages you paint on them. 🪨❤️

Jackie🦅

I follow various eagle cams/nests and a very popular eagle named Jackie recently passed away, so sad when you followed a whole year of their life and their eaglets to maturity. I painted a few eagles for 4th of July, Bicentennial and just painted one for her. Her mate is already courting another female...oh the drama...Days of Our Lives 🤣 RIP Jackie.

Spiraling

Taking our doggo to the vet in an hour to (hopefully) rule out lymphoma. Trying not to spiral, here are some rocks I made.

Rocky Owl

Just finished spraying these rocks. Just wanted to put something on the smaller one as it's the only rock of that size I have. The second picture is the backside of the owl. Had painted that side and didn't especially like it so I painted the owl on the other side.

Rocking Kindness Everyday, a project from Ms. Ricard

Help me give my students the ability to spread kindness throughout our community! Rocks, acrylic paints, and weather-resistant coating will allow them to create Kindness Rocks that inspire empathy, compassion, and brighten someone's day.
