Rocks and stones are all different. No two are alike in size, shape, or color. So, you won't be able to make stone sculptures exactly like the ones pictured here. But these sculptures will give you an idea of some of the things you can do with rocks and stones.
- Wash your rocks and stones to remove any dirt or mud. Let the rocks and stones dry before you begin.
- Study your rocks and stones. Try to imagine them as parts of animals or people.
For example, flat triangular shapes could be feet, wings, or ears. Long, round shapes might become arms, legs, or tails. Thick, square, or round shapes make good bodies or bases for other pieces. Use small stones for ears, noses, beaks, mouths, and eyes. Or, paint eyes on tiny white buttons and glue them to the sculpture. - Glue the rocks together stone by stone.
- To decorate your stone sculpture, you can paint it with tempera paint. Or, you can glue on wire, nuts, pine cones, felt, or yarn. To give your sculpture a shiny look, coat with with varnish.
