Materials: IMAGES: Zim Prints #2 MRSC Kokopelli (unmounted) and Zim Prints 3 Swirl cluster Unmounted petroglyph/hieroglyphic background of choice Paper weight size rock Brilliance orange, red and black inks; Colorbox MetaleXtra burnt copper ink Clear and black detail embossing powder Lumiere 561 metallic gold paint, POSH Rainbow inks: violet metallic, lemon, pink metallic Small brush; cowhide cord; foam pads; sheet of thin cork & half of bottle cork Spray workable fixative and glossy acrylic Tag to explain Kokopelli image, charm, decorative scissors, Krylon gold leafing pen

Directions:
(Unmounted stamps are required to create this paper weight.) Select a rock of paper weight size, wash and dry then spray with workable fixative. Using Brilliance orange and red inks, stipple or sponge the rock, heat set. Using Lumiere metallic gold, stipple areas for highlights. Use black graphite Brilliance Ink on the unmounted primitive background image and wrap around the rock taking care not to smear the image. Heat set.

Stamp the right side of the rock with the Kokopelli image using Color Box MetaleXtra Burnt Copper and emboss with clear embossing powder. (I used a brush with POSH metallic violet inkabilities to recolor the image to provide a greater contrast with the color of the rock.) Stamp the upper portion of the Kokopelli image with Brilliance black graphite ink and wrap across the left-hand section of the rock and emboss with black detail embossing powder. (CAUTION: The rock retains the heat and, therefore, the embossing powder takes longer to melt. Do not burn yourself by picking up the rock before it has cooled.)

Seal the rock with a spray gloss acrylic. Tie a cowhide cord around the bottom section and glue a cork sheet to the back along with half of a wine bottle cork to support the rock. You may add foam pads adjacent to the cowhide cord on the back of the rock to support the cork backing sheet.

TAG:
Swipe the kraft tag with Posh Rainbow inks adding two colors to the compressed sponge (metallic pink and violet). Stamp the outside 1/2 inch perimeter with the three swirl Zim Print image with violet ink and emboss with clear powder. Print the Kokopelli message on sticker paper and attach to tag then stipple with matching inks, adding some Zim swirls. Sponge some gold from a Krylon leafing pen for highlights. Attach charm to tag and add cow hide cord.
