::ladybugs rock::

I love craft's with rocks.  They are cheap and I got plenty of them.  Lily and I picked out several rocks and spray painted them red.  It did take two or three coats to get a nice bright red.  We did not bother to clean them first, since they were only dirty on the bottom.  I bet you can tell which one was Max's rock.  The girls wanted to "fix it" because it was the "perfect" shaped rock.  I wouldn't let them near it.  I love it.  He even colored the bottom of it.

After they were dry we used a sharpie to draw a think line on the short side of the rock about 2/3rds of the way up.  Then another thick line from the center of that line back over the body.  Draw in the polka dots around the body.

We used a silver marker to draw the eyes and a Sharpie to draw the pupil.  I sprayed clear coat over one of them but it made the eyelashes I had drawn on run, so we scratched that idea.  The rocks may fade with time but that will just add interest to them.

Does this count as upcycling?  And did I even spell that right?
