Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden: Making Pots, Planters, Birdbaths, Sculpture & More Reviews
85 of 88 people found the following review helpful Thorough and Inspiring, By Mary Copeland "sammimcc" (North Olmsted, OH) - See all my reviews This review is from: Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden: Making Pots, Planters, Birdbaths, Sculpture & More (Hardcover) I am thrilled to have this book. I knew people were doing this type of work, and I have wanted to know how. Other books have provided bits & pieces, but Sherri's book is THOROUGH. Each time I came up with a question in my mind as I was reading, the answer would be on one of the next pages. After reading through her book, I feel confident and inspired to take on projects I had been afraid to tackle. She shows a wide variety of projects -- her instructions are CLEAR and easy to follow. I shared this with my sister (out of state) & her comment was, "I can't believe you let loose of this!" A truly inspiring book! 82 of 89 people found the following review helpful Both practical and beautiful..., By This review is from: Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden: Making Pots, Planters, Birdbaths, Sculpture & More (Hardcover) I like this book because it has very detailed "how to" instructions to make concrete ornaments for your garden. The "how to" illustrations are very clear. The photographs of actual designs are beautiful. 38 of 44 people found the following review helpful Perfect for Beginners to Experts, By CLG "Carrie Greenwald" (South Dakota) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden: Making Pots, Planters, Birdbaths, Sculpture & More (Hardcover) This has been one of the most enjoyable creative books I have purchased in a long time. I orginally got it for my business which is moving into concrete molding and casting. I knew my mom would thoroughly enjoy it and immediately bought and Amazon sent her the gift copy. She LOVES it too and has already played around with some of the ideas in her desert garden. So thinking about it...I decided to buy my own copy! Next summer I plan on doing several of the creative ideas in it, but with my own artistic twist. I can't wait!So purchase a copy and get ready to play in concrete knowing all the details necessary to have a successful, artistic outcome! |

Product Description
Sherri Hunter, author of the best-selling Creating with Concrete, proves once again that concrete isn't just for sidewalks anymore; it's perfect for the garden too. A selection of 30 beautiful designs suggests the range of this increasingly popular material, and the illustrated instructions make the craft's fundamentals easy to learn. Because the simplest projects come first, beginners can work their way through the book progressively, building on their skills. Novices will have fun making the carved trough, sandcast bowl, and elegant relief panel. More sophisticated projects, including a decorative walkway and polished table, come next, and they'll bring charm to any outdoor space. More adventurous artists can unleash their creativity on a "Garden Guardian" sculpture or water feature. A Selection of the Crafters Choice and Homestyle Book Clubs.
