Stone Jars

Everyone likes textures and there are plenty of way creating textured surfaces. This is my share!



I worked with two traditional terracotta jars and made them to look like the old stone ones. At least, I hope they look like that!

Faux Stone Compost Bin

Don’t get over excited, it is not a 120L compost bin hidden at the bottom of the garden! As most of gardeners I am a strong believer in homemade compost and try to save all my kitchen waste for composting. This is a container for all veg peels, egg shells, used teabags and so on. I decorated it long ago and it becomes rather tatty and was waiting for getting a makeover. I got my inspiration from my kitchen tiles, which look like stone. Last year I made such a vase and decided to try something similar. And here we are! Very posh faux stone compost bin!

I can write a small tutorial on this technique, if anybody is interested.
