Wow, thanks for the detailed explanation.

I was thinking of drawing out an image and just using a heat gun to carve straight into it.
What you’ve done seems much more meticulous and thorough (and works) lol.

Mixing the acrylic paint in with the cement is a great idea. I hope you don’t mind if I steal this idea haha, (don’t worry, I’ll create something different), but yeah, love the idea. I rekon you could really create some good looking stuff if you spent some crazy time on it… It reminded me of this artist who uses cork to create models of ancient architecture (like the Acropolis in Athens etc.) lol, I’ll have to find his name, but yeah. You’ve got my creative juices flowing hah
