Faux lava rock wall step by step? - Other Crafts

I understand it can involve concrete, wire mesh and paint, but I was wondering if someone could post a step by step "how to" for doing this. For example, there are different types of concrete, how do you apply it, what color paint and how do you apply that? I have a flat concrete wall in my basement that I would like to change to a 3-d faux lava wall. I'd even be into the idea of a faux magma vein added into it. But I really don't know where to start and some of you have already done it. Thanks! --SBiM
