Newbie Question

This is a very interesting site, of which I am having fun reading!!
I want to try my first project at making a small planter.
I like the porous look very much versus the smooth texture.

What recipe of a mixture would I use to accomplish this look?

Thanks for any suggestions...

Use a peat moss recipe. Do not sift the peat moss. After unmolding, gently wire brush to give it a rough texture. The chunks of peat moss will wash out and give a porous look.

I am under the impression to get a less grey look the best way to go is get white cement vs the common grey.
