Budbud's Rocks

What are Budbud's Rocks?

Budbud's rocks are painted rocks added to the hidden rocks game that is The Kindness Rock Project. My Rocks are named after my Rat Terrier Budbud. If you find one of Budbud's Rocks please hide it somewhere else for another to find.

The First Rocks

After finding my first hidden painted rock a few weeks ago I decided I'd try and add to the game. I found a couple rocks in the street while segwaying around town, bought a few cans of spay paint, and had at it. The rocks in the set are signed "Budbud 2020" to mark the year they were created.

As you can see, they are pretty rough, but they also have some cool bits like the glow in the dark paint. I learned many things about painting rocks with these first 2 rocks. The two major things I learned are masking tape alone doesn't work too great as a stencil on a rock, and that if I wanted to get some finer details on them I'd probably need to use either paint brushes or markers. I decided to go with some acrylic markers for the rocks created after these two.

Dwayne 'The Hidden' Rock

For my second rock I took a friends suggestion after having told them I bought some rocks and they replied "I hope you name one Dwayne," and decided to put the iconic Brahma Bull from my childhood watching wrestling days. Not sure I'll ever make a hiding rock this cool ever again, but for a first test of the acrylic markers and first time drawing anything besides stick figures I think it turned out pretty well.
