BirdBath

These pictures totally disappeared from my post below and I wanted to be sure that you could see what I was talking about. Danette → had a mound of sand (she's making a bird bath), covered with a layer of plastic, then the leaf is veins up, and she is patting wet cement over the top.
When dry, the cement is lifted, turned over, and behold - a birdbath.
Danette is the daughter of my friend, Billie, who lives across the street. The other lovely is my daughter, Terre, who lives in Ithaca.

That is way too cool. I have some bored kids that need to get involved in a stepping stone project. Thanks Maple!

Thank-you so much for the pictures and info on making the stepping stones and birdbath, years a go a friend made some birdbaths using this method and I never found out how she did it and occasionally it runs through my mind I wish I had found out.....and now I know and I am so excited!! am on my way to buy some cement!! Love your stepping stone Maple! You People have just too much fun!!
