What is the best cement mix to make concrete statues etc
Comments (14)Goodearth: Thank you..we really have fun dreaming up things to create. Eye's of Truth was our first try..My idea and Husband built it. It has since fallen and broken apart. Need to redo her. More detail this time. Not sure what knocked her over...large animal maybe. She was very heavy. Size is life size. 6' on the statues.

Also mine has faded to such an ugly color that I'm going to try to paint it when the glue is dry. It used to be kind of a green color and now is purplish blue. I think it is supposed to look like it was copper that has aged. That's what I'm going to try for. patti...See Morecement ? dog statue
