About the community
A Happy Stone is a painted stone left somewhere to bring joy to its finder. Finders may keep it or leave it elsewhere for another person, allowing the travelling stones to reach new people.
The group welcomes creative participation and points to Happy Stones groups on Facebook and Pinterest for painting ideas.
Suggested supplies and markings
- Stones or rocks (beach pebbles);
- water-based acrylic paint or acrylic pens and varnish;
- #happystones0314 and the Facebook logo on the underside, so the finder can report the stone on the group's page.
Members can use the page to indicate where stones can be found. The group's description directs readers to its announcements for links to supply examples and a detailed article explaining the method.
The group advises against beads and similar decorations, which can come loose and end up in nature.
Enjoyment is central to the activity.
