Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Base coat
Wash and dry your rock. Paint the entire rock white. Let it dry fully - this is the sheep's fluffy white wool base.
-
Add the fluffy wool texture
Dab a slightly off-white or very light gray paint over the white base using a sponge or crumpled plastic wrap. This creates the bumpy, cloud-like texture of wool.
-
Paint the black face
Paint a black oval for the face in the lower center area. Add two small black ear ovals on the sides. Leave the wool surrounding the face white.
-
Add face details
Paint two white oval eyes on the black face with tiny black pupils. Add a small pink nose in the center and a curved smile. Add white highlight dots to the eyes.
-
Finish and seal
Let everything dry fully. Spray with clear sealant to protect your fluffy sheep rock.
-
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.
Helpful Tips
- A sponge dabbed over the white creates a perfect fluffy wool texture.
- The contrast between the black face and white wool makes the sheep instantly recognizable.
- Try making a whole flock by painting rocks in different sizes.
- Add tiny hooves at the bottom for an extra-cute finishing touch.
