Garden Photo Gallery

is this where I saw the cast leaves?

18 years ago

My ladyfriend and I would love to make some cast leaves for birdbaths, or just decor in the garden next spring.

But where do I look, I know I saw some pics, and some of the gals spoke how they accomplished their beautiful results.

Would there be someone out there that could give some fine pointers for this craft, we are really novices, but want to give it a shot.

Many thanks for anything you can provide!

Looking forward to some assistance, and fortitude!

Hi fuddy,

I have done a few and they are a lot of fun. Over on the hypertufa forum, they talk about leaf casts all the time.

Have fun!
