Cathy - I do label with rocks but lately it seems boulders would be ideal.

Last week I must have picked up 50 labels (from plastic to wood to knives to metal) that were scattered about from wind, squirrels, etc.

The 10" strips of cedar worked exceptionally well for years. Even they do eventually rot out when we least expect it.

Here's one rock example - I get them from our many local beaches. I use a "Paint Pen", available at paint stores, but any pen containing actual ink should work. I don't use any clear coating because I'm lazy. Sharpies fade so fast that there's no point wasting time using them.

Hint: practice spacing by either copying the rock on your copier and using that as a guide or use the wrong side of the rock.
