Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the rock
Wash and dry the rock. A tall, rounded rock works best for a ghost shape. Set up your workspace.
-
Paint white base
Paint the entire rock with white paint. Apply two or three coats for a bright, solid white. Let each coat dry fully.
-
Add blue shading (optional)
Very lightly brush pale blue paint on the sides and bottom of the ghost to give it a slightly transparent, misty look.
-
Paint the face
Using black paint and a fine brush, paint two large round eyes and a small oval open mouth. Keep the expression friendly and cute.
-
Add shine and seal
Add small white dots inside the eyes for a bright look. Let everything dry and seal with clear sealant.
-
Add RoxGeo Code
On the bottom or back of your rock, write ROXGEO.COM followed by a slash and your rock’s unique code (e.g. ROXGEO.COM/ABC123). This lets the finder go directly to your rock’s profile page and log their discovery. If the rock is too small for the full address, write #ROX followed by the code without spaces (e.g. #ROXABC123) — it’s short, easy to search on Google, and leads straight to your rock’s journey page. Use a fine-tip permanent marker or acrylic paint pen, and seal it with clear varnish so the code stays readable through rain, sun, and adventure.
