The homeowner on the White Rock East Garden Tour & Artisans gave me a lotus leaf last year and I cast it, painted it and put little shards of clear glass on top. The glass took forever. Sold it right away so I'd like to ask him for another leaf and paint the new one more natural. I know I need to ask him now when he has the beautiful leaves, but now is a rotten time in Dallas to be playing with cement. Check out another of my cement leaves at www.lottieminick.com.
