By rcn48 | Concrete statuary in some of the gardens I've visited has always captivated me. Unfortunately most statuary I've priced is quite expensive and with my tight budget the chances were slim that any of these creations would ever find themselves in my gardens. However, several years ago I was intrigued when I stumbled upon instructions for making "hollow concrete spheres". I was pleased to learn the cost of materials is fairly inexpensive and last year successfully completed my first sphere. I'd like to show you how easy it is and hopefully inspire you to create your own hollow concrete sphere! |
So.....when are you going try one?
It's unheated but I used a small space heater to keep the area at least 60 degrees while I was working. Another trick one of the "crete artists" suggested was to use a heat lamp and drape a large tarp over the sphere while it was curing.
