Squirrel! Bling! Mandala Rocks!

A bit ago I got totally sidelined with painting mandala rocks.  I had never heard of them before.  They are a cross between zentangle, painting, and, well, playing with rocks.  Pictures certainly can say it better than I.  Using ever so simple implements, round on the end, dipped in acrylic paint, you can make amazing color and geometric designs by painting circles. They are so very satisfying, with the only downside of needing to have patience for one layer to dry before applying another.  (The photos are from Pinterest...mine aren't quite this dramatic....yet.)
