Garden Stones

My friend Carol and I took a class at Luck Community Ed on making a mosaic garden stone.  The teacher was a friend from my LHS days and we had a blast.

The process is clever and we ended up with a nice stone at the end of the day.

I didn't take very many photos because I was busy being creative, but here are a few.

 Now it takes a spot in the hall of fame between Dad's VJ cement block that he made as a teen-ager and The Johansen Cement Block Mfg. Co block made at that same time.

 It was a fun class.

We already signed up for the next class, we'll be smarter, 

and it will be fun to see what we do next.

Loving the stones.
