I also love your new garden plaque. It is unique. Glad to see you used your old mold. Your new mix turned out a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. - Marylee

Beautiful. Do you think the wood shavings helped it to hold the color? The coloring is terrific.

MAJESTIC! Love it!

Brought to mind: "I see the moon, and the moon sees me. God bless the moon, and God bless me." Maybe a good "tag" quote! Jeanne S.
