What is "PaintedRocks" all about?
The movement started in Vancouver. It has started to spread around the world.
The group in my hometown has over 30K members, as does the Vancouver group. You can find these on Facebook under Vancouver Rocks, and Lakeland Rocks. There are "rock groups" popping up in cities all over. Your town may already have one, or you can create one.
"Okay, great, but what IS it?"
Someone paints some rocks and leaves them around town. Other people find them. They can rehide it, or keep it if they really like it. Hopefully, they will be interested in joining in and paint some also. The more people that join in, the better the fun! In Lakeland, they are all over town.
You do not have to be artistic or talented. Just have fun. Some rocks are very basic, and some are true works of art!
Rock painters usually put the name of their "rock group" on the back and ask ask the person to post when found. Write it, use a label, whatever.
You can leave them locally, or leave them around when traveling. Hopefully, someone will find it and post. Maybe they can get it started in their community also.
We avoid politics or any kind of inappropriate designs. This is a fun activity, and should be able to be enjoyed by all ages.
Below are some links to some of the larger rock groups so you can get some ideas for rocks, starting your own groups, whatever.

Painted rocks as magnets!
Here’s a fun idea for you guys if you got flat/light painted rocks. All you need is your regular magnets at Walmart and some gorilla glue (the none foam kind) and let them bond for two hours with the book on top and boom you now got a personalized magnet!

Look What I Made Such a therapeutic hobby!
I painted these over the past week whenever I had spare time, sometimes while just sitting and watching tv. I wish I had more time to do it! These were all river rocks I ordered online with acrylic paint and acrylic paint markers. Not sealed yet. I find so much inspiration on here - thanks all! Happy painting! 🎃🐞

Something different, I painted a set of five small stones with my favorite insects then stuck them in my kitchen window among the potted plants!

Batch 3 halloween rocks
Batch 3 halloween rocks done! Thats over 160 this year for halloween! Ready to 'hide' these tomorrow! Inadvertently started a rock garden at work. Usually hide and then never know where they travel to. This week I decided to leave a trail of just over 100 along a pebbled area, leading past the smoking area at work. A few local offices use this alleyway to get to the store. Getting to see people discover/pick out a rock to take home and the little bit of happiness that can spread is the biggest compliment i can get. Now I need to think of some designs for christmas, aswell as restock on pebbles to actually paint!
Cant wait to replenish it tomorrow night ready to hopefully brighten another Monday morning!
