lilycrazy, yes, this is the place to get AWESOME ideas! The mushrooms are so pretty that everyone is making now.
welcome back and send pics to us, we love 'em!
calamity, girl, that is sooooo pretty! I love the toad with the mushrooms and all the flowers are so pretty! You have really been working hard! Now just pull up a chair there and get some tea, relax and ENJOY your labors of love! blessings-sherri

Calam, that mushroom garden is SUPER. I love how it turned out. You did such a good job on making those mushrooms. I would love to try making some like you, and also Robert's, one of these days. But I am NOT even attempting to do cement stuff with my back and the 112 weather. Maybe next Fall, when I pour all those new molds I bought for stepping stone decor. I love the GJ mushrooms and haven't made ANY yet, just bought some at GW or off eBay. Tho I think some of the glass I just got at GW might make some cute ones if I can find right bases for them.

hugs, K

Calamity how did you make those 'shrooms? I love them!

Great mushrooms! I need to find the pics of all the others!

Here is how I did the mushrooms, I made them from wire mesh, then covered the mesh with cement, like a skim coat. Then my fav thing...mosaiced!!!

Forgot to add that I also used some fiberglass fabric over the wire to stop the cement slurry from just going thru the holes! I have been working on my yard so much, that I haven't done Anything in over a month, I am working on a Yoda statue that is that ugly stage right now, I feel his pain!lol! I gotta finish him so he can be a proud lookin' Yoda dude!!! He'll look better once he is fully cemented and then his "robe" gets a brown grout, and that will make it all a lot better...he has hands and a cane too...shessh, I gotta get back to him!!! Poor guy!

Poor Yoda, encased in cement. You definitely gotta make him happy with all the new pretty plans you have. LOL.
