i could also use broken china. i've entertained thoughts of stone masonry for a long time. i've been very interested beautiful old buildings and the designs of the carved and cast stone ornamentation. buildings used to be so stylish. i should study some of the decorative accents i find most attractive, i should take pictures of buildings i see and post pictures of buildings i find online. then i should try to recreate the decorations on the planters with concrete, tiles, and stone. i've have a strong attraction to blue grey stones masoned together to form a wall. i'd like to make a planter with the outside decorated with small round bluish-grey stones set into the concrete to look like they were masoned together. i could coat each of the stones with epoxy so that the stones alwasy look wet and glossy which will bring out the color.
