Like that, quite unusual the colour strong without being overpowering a good job.

LoL, I can see you lot like this!!!
What it is......an oblong breezeblock cut on the diagonal....
would steel moulds and concrete be a bit too heavy?
Must admit to wanting to make a couple more....but darned heavy to stack in my boot to take to market!!

How about a plastic mold, put the stones in the bottom and pour in colours plaster of paris, leave a bit on the top then put stones and a bit more when dry then a dab of paint n bobs yer uncle!

Lulu they would not be any heavier as you would use the same amount of cement ,the mould provides the shape you slide them out of the mould after a few hours, before it is completely hard,wash the mould and start again.
Steve not sure how strong plaster of paris would be or if it wold go soft in the wet.

We better get working on it then!!! Although not sure about working with cement as I've never tried it......
P of P I think is too soft....stevie why don't you try one in a plastic mould.....let me know!!
