Hi from Central Coast of CA (Region 6),

I have had some problems finding nice safe places to put my
letterboxes so I thought why not make fake rocks?

I got some material kind of like papermache' but with a plaster base.
2 parts dry for one part water got it kind of goopy. I then lavished
it over three film cannisters and one small tuppertype container. The
four are drying now. Their openings are on the bottoms and yes, I did
make sure the lids could come off and go back on.

Next comes the painting. I am spray painting them first with a dark
granite spackly paint and, after that dries, a clear sealing coat.
Once they are ready, I will take pics and send them to anyone
interested. Let me know.

I am also considering boring holes in drift-type wood but might be
disuaded if the wood might be in a place for a bonfire. We are on the
beach, afterall.

Anyway, anybody else out there making rocks for boxes? What do you
use? How well have they lasted?

Rocking and boxing,
