Doone, sorry I missed your question. I saw a picture of the front of the chair in a book called, "Artists in their Gardens." I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they used lathe. I took a class last summer on hollow (lathe) concrete sculpture from a local artist named Lynn DeNino (I think Dena has taken the class from her at one time, too). You basically lay patties of your cement mixture onto the lathe and let it relax into the diamond mesh so you end up with a strong armature. Then you go back over it with a thin veneer of the same stuff to fill in the gaps and make it smooth. You can make very strong thin walls this way. I'm sure L&L also use admixtures in their mixes but I haven't experimented with any of that yet. Lynn suggested something called Milestone. Deb

I may be dense, but what's DRUEL? I googled it and all I got was some refrence to a drug dealer....and refrences to people named Druel. Am I out of the loop? Linda C

Wow, her stuff is really pretty! Thanks for sharing! There is a local site (to me that is) that I really like, called Totally CHristmas. They have some really pretty items and I like how easy the site is to navigate. Here is a link that might be useful: Totally Christmas

It looks interesting Rene. Worth an hours exploring!!
