Birthday Surprise II

Well after procrastinating for a couple of weeks I bit the bullet and got the base done.

• Step 1 take a cd sleeve, not a hard plastic but sort of flexible vinyl with texture.

• Step 2 mark the joints of the concrete with a scalpel, then run the blade at 45 along the groove and scrape out the excess. Glue to the base with some weight on the top.
  

• Step 3 paint base and concrete then keeep applying colour till the texture looks right.
  

Voila!
