My ladyfriend and I have decided that we would love to try casting some leaves for next spring's gardening enjoyment.
Now, that I want the info, I find absolutely nothing, and there were some great pictures to show the results.
Would there be someone out there that would be willing to show/tell some novices what/how to go about this craft, and at least point us in the right direction?
Most appreciative of anything you can provide! |

| You might want to have a look at the Little and Lewis website (Littleandlewis.com) In my opinion, they are the premier sculptors in this art form, creating HUGE and sturdy gunnera and other giant leaves with beautiful coloration. They hold their process as a closely guarded secret, but the website is certainly an inspiration. As far as step-by-step goes, I recall there being an article in either Sunset or BH&G magazine maybe a year or more ago that featured a "how-to" section. Good luck and post YOUR pictures! Zenzone |

| I have been making cast leaves for a few years and am more than happy to show you some of the ones I have made. Granted I am not Little and Lewis and haven't made huge ones yet, but here are some pictures. Check out the hypertufa forum for more information.
