Photos of my latest leaf casting experiment

This is the base (Hypertufa) . To make the base - I used a 1gal nursery pot and then placed the smaller green pot inside (upside down) then I put the hypertufa in the nursersy pot. I used the same green ( 1 qt) pot to make the round mold on top of the leaf.

When I make the leaf (portland and sand), I place a small hamburger pattie of tufa in middle of the leaf and then used the green pot to form the mold, - let dry the uses same pot for the base above.
