Very nice! I made a smaller one with a face but now you have me inspired to do a bigger one!

How did you make the face?

Really like your planter....looks really nice with the Bougie. Yes,I would also love to know how you made the face.

Hi Collectorplant and CrazyCase
Thanks, sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I was on vacation at the seashore and did not want to return home. I had purchased a cement casting of the face a few years ago. I made a silicone mold out of the cement face and poured a plaster of Paris base to support it. I have recast the silicone mold several times with a straight cement mixture. I tried to use a hypertufa mixture to make the face but could not get good detail on eyes and nose so I just went with straight cement mixture. There are several helpful sites on this forum that explain how to create a silicone mold. I went onto the Web to find out how to create a POP support base. Let me know if you have anymore questions and I'll be happy to provide you with links. :-)

@oldgraymare
Thanks for the nice comment. I hope to see what you've made in the future. :-)

beautiful ! did you also make the hypertufa planter? If so, did you use any concrete mesh or fortifier in your tufa formula?
