Thanks to Dena and everyone else that responded with advice for me...we had 10 ladies and a wonderful time. Everyone that I invited showed up and they brought friends! They kept me very busy and I hope I was able to give them enough attention but they all seemed to do very well. I gave them the handout but they were ready to dive in. They were all very enthusiastic and of course can't wait for the big reveal. I made them all leave (or is it leaf?)their projects on site at least until Friday probably. They did such a fine job...I have high hopes for no breakage... and I know some of them will continue on with even more creative projects. We managed to do some of everthing, leaves, tufa pots and stepping stones with leaves. It was so fun to share something that excites that much creativity.

Dena; I took your advise and did a small leaf the night before and did a demo on breakage with the desired effect. But sorry to say I was so busy we never got into adding the admix or the tape (even thought I did go buy some). Well maybe we'll do it again...Cement Level II :).

BTW... I used Quickwall for the first time, from what I can see I think its very cool.

fleur; how did your workshop go?

here is a link to the pictures, hope it works.
