Hypertufa, Art and objects for the Garden

  I think as this weathers a bit and the feed sack gets more exposed, it will give the mushroom  the textures I was attempting to to combine. The base is using the stove pipe to make a pillar, then carved into  the ribbed pattern seen in the picture. I think this is "Farmers Market"  product... that is starting in about a week, I am so not ready.

The cap was made separately, building off an old concave lamp fixture with plastic wrap over the glass for easy release. layering hypertufa-mesh fencing-hypertufa again, then dip and soaking gunny sack strips in a thick solution of Portland cement and  fine sand and placing on the cap leaving loose ends at the edges to give it more texture and visual interest.
