步驟 1: Prepare and prime the rock

Wash and dry the rock thoroughly. Paint the entire surface with two coats of white acrylic paint, letting each coat dry fully. A smooth, round rock at least 10 cm across gives you the best canvas for intricate mandala detail work.

步驟 2: Sketch the mandala grid

Using a compass and pencil, draw a small circle at the center of the rock. Add concentric circles at equal intervals outward. Divide the rock into 8 or 16 equal segments with radiating pencil lines to create your symmetrical mandala grid.

步驟 3: Paint the golden base color

Fill the entire top surface with two coats of deep golden yellow paint, working carefully within the pencil guidelines. This warm solar base will make your finished mandala glow with the energy of the sun. Let dry completely before continuing.

步驟 4: Paint the inner sun core

Using bright orange paint and a fine brush, paint a bold circle at the very center. Add short radiating flame-like strokes around it to create the burning core. Place a precise bright white dot at the absolute center using a dotting tool dipped in white paint.

步驟 5: Build the first ring of petals

Paint symmetrical teardrop-shaped petals around the central core, following your grid lines. Each petal should be evenly spaced and identical in size. Use a medium brush for the body of each petal and your fine brush to refine the pointed tips to a crisp finish.

6

步驟 6: Layer outer rings with geometric detail

Add progressively larger and more elaborate rings outward: chevron bands, triangular points, and small dot clusters between each major petal layer. Check symmetry after each ring by rotating the rock and comparing opposite sections carefully.

7

步驟 7: Add stippling and dot-work details

Load a toothpick or fine dotting tool with white or orange paint and add rows of uniformly sized dots along the border of each completed ring. This stippling technique creates beautiful texture and is the hallmark of traditional mandala stone art.

8

步驟 8: Outline, refine and seal

Once all paint layers are fully dry, use a fine brush with slightly diluted black or dark brown paint to outline key shapes for clarity and contrast. Apply two coats of clear sealant spray, allowing full drying between coats. Your sun mandala rock is complete.

步驟 9: 添加 RoxGeo 代碼

在你的石頭底部或背面寫上 ROXGEO.COM，接著加上斜線和你石頭的唯一代碼（例如 ROXGEO.COM/ABC123）。這樣尋找者就能直接訪問你石頭的個人資料頁面並記錄他們的發現。如果石頭太小無法寫下完整地址，可以寫 #ROX，接著是沒有空格的代碼（例如 #ROXABC123）--這樣簡短，容易在 Google 上搜尋，並直接引導到你石頭的旅程頁面。使用細尖的永久性標記筆或壓克力畫筆，並用透明清漆封住，這樣代碼在雨水、陽光和冒險中都能保持可讀。

有用的提示

Use a compass for perfect circles - freehand circles look less professional in mandala work.
Always work from the center outward, completing each ring fully before starting the next.
A mandala compass dotting tool set makes spacing dots uniformly much easier and faster.
Test your dotting tool pressure on a spare rock before applying to the design.
The painting looks busier than expected in progress - trust the grid and it will come together beautifully.
對於底部的 RoxGeo 代碼，使用防水永久性標記筆（如 Sharpie）或壓克力畫筆。在代碼上塗抹 2-3 層透明密封劑--這樣可以在雨水、陽光和處理中保持可讀數月。
在你的石頭上寫上 #ROXCODE（例如 #ROXABC123）可以讓人通過 Google 搜尋輕鬆找到。我們會主動優化這個標籤，因此任何搜尋它的人都能快速找到你石頭的個人資料頁面。
完整地址 ROXGEO.COM/CODE 會直接帶尋找者到你石頭的卡片，讓他們可以查看完整的旅行歷史、之前的尋找者和每個停留點的照片。
