Stony Toad Fountain

14 years ago

I made a smaller stony toad and used it for a fountain topper. I just made a small hole in the mouth for tubing and the rest is history. Makes a unique fountain and I don't even have to buy the frog. Everything, except the pump, is made from hypertufa.

The frog is a nice touch -- I bet this would look cool next to a pond. Enjoy the photos!

In a prior post you mentioned

My rule of thumb when coloring cement is to use the oil based colors for the finish coat, and to use the water-based stains when I want a little color, as for my casted leaves. Do you have any brands that you like to use?
