Grimm's Build: The Fountain

This is the mock up I started with. I cut the center out of the larger piece already.

Here I had the first two pieces glued in place. Epoxy.

Mr. H.O. Guy checks things out as the grate is added.

Here, the basic fountain is done

I wanted that greenish patina that you see on copper, so I used chalks to get a yellow, green look with a little rust as well.

The water is made from a piece of fiber optic strand. I ten used envirotex to pour over the strand and into the fountain.

The chalk has been rubbed off in places to make the patina pop.

I added some lily pads and flowers into the water and worked on some vegetation.

Here's the final look.
