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. Creative Concrete Ornaments for the Garden: Making Pots, Planters, Birdbaths, Sculpture and More FROM THE PUBLISHER 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.

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. FROM THE CRITICS Library Journal Concrete isn't just for sidewalks, as this book illustrates with 25 inventive designs to make any garden more beautiful, ranging from simple to complex and from planters to sculpture. The supplies are not cheap, and there are techniques to learn, but who knew concrete could produce such cool results! A nice companion for adventurous craftspeople, this goes beyond Hunter's earlier concrete books, e.g., Making Concrete Garden Ornaments and Creating with Concrete. Recommended for larger libraries.
