I did this stone with a diameter of 1 m for giving your girlfriend, on her well. She was expensive to buy ready, I decided to make her a gift.
When it was planned to work, I thought to use cement, and then put it up and invented so ... I'll make a stone easier, because a friend already 70, forces a little to move a heavy stone from cement.
The list of essential materials and tools for the manufacture of stone from the mounting foam for construction.
Need:
- 2-3 standard tubes frost-resistant mounting foam,
- pelvis or other basis
- Dark and light paint (I have black and beige enamel - for the formation of rescueplains),
- 1-2 brushes, solvent for washing of brushes,
- A little plow glue (you can do without it, attaching moss right on the paint),
- Any moss.
I took a plastic pelvis with a diameter of almost 1 m (it is possible to roll the paper in the form of a hemisphere to save money, after hardening the foam can be removed), the construction foam has stamps the top of the pelvis, cut the knife so as to correct the shape.
Painted first black enamel, carefully painting all the deepening and regret paint ...
Not allowing to finally dry in the black paint, on top, slightly rubbing the brush, caused a little beige enamel. Again, more, somewhere less, giving her to mix with not yet dried black paint.
So gradually my stone acquired some naturalness and naturalness.
But it seemed to me a little, and I decided to give it the "age". And let him turn to me with moss. I went to my corner for the bath and scored there from the fir moss. I smeared some deposits on the stone glue PVA and attached moss. It turned out quite naturally ...
If you saw the joy of my friend, who saw my gift "Brilliant" for the first time! And heard her story about the enthusiastic reviews of her neighbors, learning that the stone was made "His (female) hands" ...
Stone is quite resistant to weather influence, because Frost foam, all the pores are perfectly filled with paint, and enamel gives a stable film that does not allow moisture to absorb foam. This is how the stone looks on the other side ...
My experience shows that a person (and especially the woman) can do everything if he wants to strongly and turn on the fantasy and intellect. I delivered the joy of my friend, spending quite some money and time (2-3 hours).
