Hi Matt, they are really great! I've made 'pet pebbles' with the kids for all of our pets. The kids love doing them and for the pets who have passed, we have a lovely reminder of them.
The kids also made ladybird one for their godparents. Strawberries for the strawberry patch. and all sorts from the angry birds to pebbles with their names on, Halloween ones and a variety of creatures such as owls. Fun activities with the kids and they made these back in 2012. Since then we've added a few new pets to the menagerie and they always get their own pebble. I purposely haven't put any tort ones up because I didn't want to detract from yours as they are amazing. CB, I use gloss on mine as the pebbles then go outside. I expect Matt has done the same.

wow Emma yours are fabulous too. I love the owl. I buy an owl Christmas ornament every year, and support Suffolk Owl Sanctuary because Owls are simply wonderful. I paint pots but they flake outdoors and fade - clearly needed varnish (is that wood varnish?) .
I think I am using wrong paints too. What paints do you use ? Matt yours are so detailed too they are really good, can they go outdoors and what paints? CB
