Stepping Stone

I made this a while ago, and was only reminded of it due to another thread on here. Deliberately made to look like wood, it is actually concrete...

 

Very creative!
What was your inspiration?

 

Realising that wooden ones would end up rotting, and wanting a challenge.

 

Well, you certainly rose to the challenge! I love it

 

That is lovely @Sandy Ground ...agree with M - I LUV it too

 

Thank you @"M" and @BeeHappy It was relatively simple to make also.

 

Maybe for you Sandy but im not sure it would look soooo pretty if I attempted to make one
Just had another look and it's such a decorative piece, like a piece of garden art - and particularly appealing with the dew and Autumn colors surrounding it

 

Sandy, that is lovely! The colour makes it look like real wood too. You are very talented.... I'm remembering the tea cupboard!

 

Maybe you could send me the recipe

 

The colour was more a case of good luck than good management, but can be repeated.

No problem...

 

Could I trouble you for the recipe too? Would love to have a try at that!

 

I asked first!
As there is only *one* recipe and I asked for it ... you'll have to bribe ask me instead

 

The colour comes from mixing water soluble wood stain in water, then using the water to mix the concrete. The pattern is from a mould made in fibreglass on an actual piece of tree. As I said, easy really.

 

You told EVERY one!!!!



*snatches back payment for secret recipe*

 

Erm ... might need a bit of help with this part.
