Artificial Rock Making Exercise

What's new today... Well, I'm having a go at making artificial rocks... Yes rocks, for landscaping etc around the pool or garden. I got the idea from a good friend from Darwin, I got some instructional DVDs off the net and have the first one in progress, see photo's.










This is my first attempt to make an artificial rock (future rock) on the left is the wire frame and the one on the right is with the first coat almost finished. It's a bit time consuming but fun also, as you don't really know what it's going to turn out like. I'm going to try a mailbox type one soon. Artificial rocks are expensive to buy but no where as near as expensive as the real thing.

Who knows it might become a little side line for me to do from home... Any orders??? Not really, I need to practice the art for a while before I try and sell them. probably do up a example booklet first. Keeps me occupied anyway. Watch this space. Ricko
