Frosty Morn

Woke up to 27 degrees and a heavy frost. It has turned out to be a pretty sunny day with a high of 45. Except for stepping out briefly to get some photos, I've not been motivated to go out. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy

Leaves to Remember (Michael's Concrete Art)

Michael teaching our friends Geoff and Masako how to make and paint concrete leaves

Michael has been busy making concrete leaves, saucers, bird baths and other objects. This is a process that takes 24-36 hours for forming and drying the cement mixture (sand and mortar mix).




After the objects are finished, they are then painted and glazed.


My favorites are the bowls and bird baths. I have a small one on my desk and the larger ones will be used throughout the garden.

  2. I adore these. Especially the birdbaths. I hope Michael sets up an online shop.
