Lovey dubby Lovey dubby Thanks all....Camilla from DG in concrete creations has helped me with what an hows to paint concrete.She is a wonderful artist,thanks Camilla Hurray!

All I used was exterior latex primer 1st,then you know those craft paints in little bottles,bright copper ,then a wash made with teal,dry brush,and wipe ,then i used rustolium clear.Camilla recomends Behr sealer but it only comes in a gallon can.I m thinking the rustolium brush on clear is working out very well so far..Just dont use Oil based ENAMEL on concrete,it will blister and peel ...LIKE my big green frog is doing,I used hammered green metalic ,frog now has a skin affliction Rolling on the floor laughing Sad

Same for the cherubs,statue I used pewter then sponged bronze over that ,and sealed ..BB Gold with black wash,used a spray clear NOT HOLDING UP WELLL... Thumbs down

The kitty is Big Willy,I have 2 tuxedo kitties...Matching pair Big Grin

Ive trimmed back the petunias once well twice if you count the 2 fawns that were nibbling on all my stuff earlier... Hilarious! Wish I could find the photos from last year,had cascading petunias in it ..these are growing straight up in the air Confused Confused The toilet is all together we have it settin on patio blocks so its level,Ralph drilled a hole in the bottom of the bowl for drainage,tank already had holes in the bottom after removing the guts...I love it Angel Angel
