CHELMSLEY Wood residents are being encouraged to paint up rocks and hide them around the estate for other locals to find.
Part treasure hunt, part art project, the family-friendly initiative is the brainchild of the Friends of North Solihull group.
Once a design has been painted on one side of a suitable stone, people are asked to write #ChelmsleyWood on the back.
The group said: "If you are lucky enough to be a finder, you may keep your treasure or rehide it for someone else to find.
"Please upload your pictures of rocks that you’ve found and rocks that you’ve painted and hidden!"
#ChelmsleyRocks advice:
- You might find suitable stones in your back garden, otherwise they can be bought fairly cheaply from garden centres and hobby shops.
- Friends of North Solihull recommend a base coat to seal the rock, before a design is painted on with acrylic paint. A spray varnish can be used to protect the picture from the elements.
- Rocks can be left in parks, on garden walls or by bus stops. Any location is fine, so long as it's in a public place and safe to access.
