You have made something which looks very much like stone, from cement, great work! How did you colour it so nicely?
If you are not killing plants, then you are not extending yourself as a gardener..

Great work mate, you've really cAptured kimuras work as he has done it. I've always wanted to do a setting like yours and kimuras ever since I saw his inclined forest, I'll do it one day though :D

Luciano , that is absolutely fantastic . Your talent is truly inspiring making my "Raft" look rather ordinary compared with yours . Plans are coming along to make several different platforms along the lines of mountain slopes and valleys , your progression pics have motivated me into making a start .Cheers Alpineart

Thank for the commentaries.
I placed more two plants, one of them suggested by the Greth.
Later I post more pictures.

I use a pigment for cement based on Oxidate of Iron.
Later I paint with mud, I vary times until creating liquens.

Great representation of the original. Your stone technique is wonderful, I must try re-creating a pot similar to this. Awesome platform to work with.
