Well I used a rustoleum paint...a MESS ..say goodbye to the brush. Cannot wash the stuff. Comes off hands easily, but nothing else. I love the way it coats and covers...but it is not good for rocks because there is moisture in those things and the moisture escaping from the rock and behind a paint that does not make friends with moisture...causes it to flake. I used it primarily because Sylvia ( my serpent ) was rusted and so it works well for her ( iron) but not so good the rocks..in a year or two...she will have a speckled rock tail..which looks neat too...but today I refreshed the rocks and also painted that white hideous sea urchin..and made it a part of the sculpture's body.

I still need to set the rocks deeper and beef up the gravel a bit ..it was just so darn hot!

Don't squat with yer spurs on!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
