Courtyard Pavement: Faux Flagstone from Acrylics and Stone Effect Spray Paint

I wanted to try an experiment to create the look and texture of stone but without cutting individual pieces. I think I need to work with it some more for this project but it has given me some ideas on future projects.

    No wonder you have been so quiet lately! I absolutely love what you have done to the courtyard! I like the idea of using granite to finish it off. The second picture really shows it off. Did you make the trees too? I'll bet you did. :-)

      Thanks, but no I didn't make the trees, I bought them from Michaels to turn into fruit trees with polymer clay fruit.

    Hello Jocelyn,
    I think you are off to a great start. The stone looks realistic int he pictures...perhaps adding "grout" lines between the stones might make it look more 3d. you definitely have the stone effect.
    Big hug,

      Thanks for the suggestion, I did add the grout lines and it does look more realistic now.

    Hi Jocelyn
    I think you have hit your mark, it looks like stone you may have to fiddle with it a bit but from far away it's very real looking.

    Hugs

    I was checking this on my Kindle and accidentally deleted it but YES, and thank you for the complement

    Hi Jocelyn. I am going to start highlighting miniaturists whose work I admire. May I put you on the potential list? You can email me if you prefer. I have trouble emailing from my computer because the default mailing program is not correct for me. Please let me know I would love to share your wonderful work.
