Hey there  Now that looks really cool! Did you use rough coat spray or similar to texture it, and was it a 'pound shop' offering? I may have to steal the idea please!! |

It was a set of 3 for a fiver from the supermarket gardening promotion. Actually, it the promo was finished, so they were only £2.50  MDF base, pathway is vinyl flooring, stone pattern with the 'grout' cut out with a stanley knife. Rocky area is a broken up cork placemat. The fairy statue was distress by putting it in a plastic bag and hitting it with a hammer! It is just sprayed standard black primer. I glued a few patches of sand here and there on it, plus, as I was doing it pretty quickly, I reckon some might have escaped the base under furious drybrushing.... |

That is rather effective. It's amazing what you can find in cheap shops.

Mrs H has loads of those dotted about the house. I'm pretty sure she'd miss one if I did that though.

But if one of them suffered an "accident", surely she couldn't begrudge you making some use out of it rather than throwing it into the trash.  |
Sometimes, stealing candy from babies is the only way to find good candy.
