About 4 days. The leaf dried up and fell off. It's the first thing I've ever made with cement. It was fun!

Very pretty. We did some last year and it's definitely habit-forming...I find myself wanting to make more MORE MORE! What's your plan for it???

Your leaf turned out nice. Fun, isn't it? We just made one last weekend. Funny story re: the leaf. I've been looking at this particular leaf in my rhubarb patch for weeks. Sunday morning I even showed my daughter the leaf I was going to be using that afternoon to make a birdbath. When my DH went out to pick the leaf-- you guessed it-- GONE! So we selected the next best leaf. The next day visiting over the fence with a neighbor- we found the culprit when they mentioned that they had to get the rhubarb that they had picked yesterday cooked into sauce. I guess that's what happens when you tell the neighbors "oh, just help yourself whenever you want"! Oh Well- I think our alternate leaf turned our just fine!

Very nice, I love those things. We made a bunch of them a few years ago and we're planning to do more to make more paths. We made ours flat for stepping stones.

Cool leaf. I'm amazed at how the veins show up in the cement.

lindawing58, click the link below for nicely detailed instructions for making a leaf out of concrete.

Can't believe I missed this the first time around. Great first time effort, catalinagrey!

Here is a link that might be useful: Concrete Leaf Casting Instructions
